Former Rams DE Robert Quinn leads Dallas in sacks
Quinn fought through repeated injuries in his final few seasons with the Rams, recording just 17.5 sacks in his last three seasons (32 games). In 11 games this season, Quinn leads the Cowboys with 9.5 sacks and also has 18 QB hits – the most he’s had in a season since 2014.
His resurgent season is both the result of him being healthy and being back in a 4-3 defense, which allows him to play defensive end on the weakside. He’ll be Andrew Whitworth’s primary responsibility, which could slow down the Cowboys pass rusher.
Whitworth has been great in the last seven games, posting the fourth-best pass-blocking grade from PFF.
