The Dallas Cowboys were without All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs for a crucial Week 7 showdown against the Washington Commanders, but the defense did not miss a beat.

Dallas' NFL-worst defense put together its best outing of the year, holding the division rival Commanders to 22 points.

Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus made some scheme adjustments for Sunday afternoon's game, implementing more man coverage, and it worked wonders. The Cowboys were racking up sacks, forcing turnovers, and the Pick-Six King DaRon Bland reminded us all of why he set the NFL record for INT return touchdowns in a single season.
