"Now, more than a decade later, the Cowboys have not one, but three solid defensive tackles that could reshape how we view the defense in 2026. Looking at the two teams in the Super Bowl, there's a common theme between them centered around the heart of their defensive front-the ability to generate pressure. It's not just the two teams in the Super Bowl, either. The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle duos were in the top four in pressures at their position."
"Looking at Pro Football Focus, Osa Odighizuwa had 52 pressures (sixth among all DTs), Quinnen Williams had 51 (seventh), and Kenny Clark had 44 (15th). Dallas was the only team to have three in the Top 15. When Williams first arrived in Dallas and played in the Monday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders, he reminded people how dominant he could be at the position."
Dallas now fields three strong defensive tackles (Osa Odighizuwa, Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark) who generated significant interior pressure in 2025. Pro Football Focus credited Odighizuwa with 52 pressures (sixth among DTs), Williams with 51 (seventh) and Clark with 44 (15th), making Dallas the only team with three DTs in the Top 15. Teams reaching the Super Bowl and other contenders like the Broncos and Rams also featured dominant DT pressure duos. Williams flashed dominance early but declined as the secondary faltered, illustrating that elite interior pressure often depends on complementary team play.
