Linebackers: B

Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano had the task of trying to stop running back Ezekiel Elliot, with help from their defensive line they held Zeke to just 71 rushing yards. Elliot did manage to create some chunk plays off some missed tackles, but for the most part they kept him in check.

Edmunds led the unit in tackles with eight, with Milano having just four tackles on the day. Milano did break up two passes, again demonstrating his knack for making plays and being around the ball at the right time.

Lorenzo Alexander had just one tackle, but he did flush Dak Prescott out of the pocket on multiple occasions which led to some arrant throws from the quarterback.

One big gaff from this group came early in the game as Dallas tight end Jason Witten was left wide open for the Cowboys’ opening score.
