Cowboys' Caleb Downs explains why historically bad Week 1 defense is 'very fixable'
Dallas produced one of the NFL's worst defensive performances since the start of 2025, but its first-round rookie says the mistakes are correctable
- Cowboys snap counts Week 1: DaRon Bland and Jalen Thompson played all defensive snaps (69). Caleb Downs with heavy workload in his debut: 61 defense 4 special teams. Von Miller got 11 snaps. I thought he would get more. Offense wasn’t on field enough yet Ryan Flournoy as the new No. 3 WR picked up 41 snaps. KaVontae Turpin with just 8 snaps. If offense is on the field more I’m assuming he’s reaching double-digits. Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker with 13 snaps each.
