"With all due respect to Logan Wilson, the name that everybody was curious about seeing was Quinnen Williams. Dallas gave up significantly more to acquire Williams, and in the process of doing so gave themselves one of the best interior defensive linemen in the NFL. This is not something the Cowboys have been able to claim in some time. Williams produced a sack and a half during his debut which leads the way for a lot of conversations about the game."

What is particularly notable about what Williams did is that all of his pressures came in the first half. The game was well in hand at intermission, and Williams' performance (along with others obviously) in the second quarter was a big reason why."
"Expecting a handful of pressures every half would be ridiculous, but the overall takeaway here is that the Cowboys got exactly what they paid for early on. They sent a ton of draft capital to the Jets to acquire one of the best interior linemen in the game, someone who could serve as a rising tide to lift all boats, and that is exactly what happened.

Those five first-half pressures tied for the most by any Cowboys defensive tackle in a first half since 2018. Williams faced 14 double teams (50% of his pass rushes), the second-most he has seen this season. The addition immediately boosted the interior pass rush.
