Through the first six weeks of the season, Matt Eberflus' zone-heavy defensive scheme was failing. The secondary looked lost and was consistently blowing assignments, allowing quarterbacks like Justin Fields to look like the second coming of Tom Brady.

In Week 7, that changed. Eberflus used man coverage on 45 percent of the team's defensive snaps. It was a much-needed change that players, fans, and analysts had been calling for. And it worked.

There were sacks, turnovers, and even a return to the endzone for DaRon Bland. InsideTheStar.com takes a look at Eberflus' change is sparking a "defensive revival" for Big D. Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota completed just 33 percent of their passes for 67 yards when the Cowboys were playing man.
