Despite having one of the NFL's top-five defenses, defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and his defensive players spoke with a tone one would a sociate with a unit that ranked in the bottom five of the . Losing, 26-17, to the rival on "Sunday Night Football," a game in which they gave up more than 20 points and allowed multiple touchdowns in a game for the first time -- the last team to do so this season -- has them "pi sed.""It's been a little bit of a weird day Monday because of the talk of, 'Oh well, it was a good second half,' but quite honestly we're all pi sed that we needed to have a good second half," Quinn Monday. "We have really high standards for how we want to play, and when we don't meet them, we're pi sed about it. We want that a s-kicking performance Josh Richardson Jersey start to finish: first quarter through the fourth for however long we need to go. That's what I would like to make sure we're focusing on. When we don't meet them, it makes you mad. We're ready to get going for the next one, but that's how we felt coming out."The Cowboys' anger is justified considering how dominant they've been acro s the board in 2022. They lead the NFL in sacks with 24, the most by a Dallas team in its first six games since 1987. Dallas also is tops in the leagues in pre sures (103) while ranking third in both scoring defense (16.3 points per game allowed) and yards per play allowed (4.6).Cowboys defense this seasonNFL RankPPG Allowed16.33rdYards/Play4.63rdSacks241stPre sures1031stThe undefeated Eagles presented a tough challenge with quarterback and running back playing behind one of the best offensive lines in football. However, the Cowboys chalked up their eight mi sed tackles -- tied for their second-most in a game this season -- and a critical neutral zone infraction penalty on defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. on fourth-and-four with the Eagles on the Dallas' 10 in the first quarter, as self-inflicted wounds. Sanders scored Philadelphia's first touchdown of the Dallas Mavericks Hoodie game, a five-yard rushing touchdown, on first-and-goal from the five on the very next play."I just told them, 'We're too good to beat ourselves, we're too good to try to make a play because the plays will come to us,'" Cowboys linebacker after the game Sunday. "With the scheme, we're too good; we just have to win our one-on-one's. Sometimes in games like this, we try to do more to make that splash play. We just all have to take accountability, watch this film, and just get better from it."The Cowboys had their season-high in defensive penalties with six against the Eagles after not having more than four in a game through the season's first five weeks. Quinn is confident his defense won't be as undisciplined going forward."When they lead to first downs, to free 15 yards, those are hard to overcome in a drive," Quinn said. "We'll get those shored up for sure. It can't happen. There will be ones you get from playing and battling, that's a normal reaction, but a neutral zone infraction or an unsportsmanlike from a comment, we can do better."We call Fowler's neutral zone infraction a no-brainer, and we bring those up to say 'Hey, this is something we can work on.' In their defense, the Eagles do go for it a lot on fourth. ... No matter what, we can use our discipline in that spot there. That's a big one to get. That's creating a turnover in the red zone to flip it back the other way because as you know after that one, a touchdown occurred. Those are those little moments that we talk about needing poise if we're going to play to the standard. We can't have those little episodes where something could knock us off course. There's enough plays in the game where a mi sed tackle happens or someone makes an exceptional play. The ones we can control, whether it's a pre-snap or post-snap, those ones we can eliminate and we know we will." DAL LB #11 Parsons, an early season Defensive Player of the Year candidate, had a lower than usual impact on the game by his standards with no sacks and only one tackle for lo s. However, both he and Quinn attribute that to the unique problems the Seth Curry Jersey Eagles' ground game can create with Hurts' rushing ability. It's not any trend they expect to linger going forward.Micah Parsons this seasonNFL RankPre sures31T-1stSacks6.0T-2ndTFL8T-3rdQB Hits12T-4th"I just have to hone in on my craft and get better this week," Parsons Thursday. "I personally made some self adjustments and analyzed with coaches, sitting down with them to see about things I can do better and fix my game. This week I'm looking to hush everything up. The Eagles didn't try and come after me they run an RPO offense, everything is read-option. You got to worry about Hurts, he's a problem. When you have problems, you have to focus on them, so in my eyes, I did my job. You can't control trying to do everything on the field; that only leads to frustration and miscommunication. Just have to do your job out there. It was a big game last week and sometimes, you can get caught up trying to make the big play, which can get you jammed up. We just have to get Antonius Cleveland Jersey it cleaned up and back to the details.""It wasn't a dropback pa sing game, so we couldn't get into some of the rushes and pre sures like we normally would based on their style," Quinn added. "I wouldn't say it was specific to Micah as it was specific to how they play. I don't think there's anything specific that was directed toward him. I think we easily could have played him at defensive end and the same plays would have happened. We played him more at linebacker in this game. I did feel like they were going to run the ball more, but I don't think it was specific to him as it was to the entire defense."
