Tyrone Crawford is a lynch pin for the Cowboys' defense
by Chris Zolli | Mon, Dec 15th 4:33pm EST
Tyrone Crawford had two sacks last night and has three sacks in the past three games; after having no sacks in his first 26 games, this output is huge for a Cowboys defense that ranks 28th in sacks.
Fantasy Impact:
Tyrone Crawford has been very active this season and it was a long journey to him recording sacks; his three sacks rank second on the team and he leads the defensive line with 19 tackles and five tackles for a loss. Crawford went from a reserve defensive lineman to a high impact starter and has been an instrumental part of a defense ranked 16th against the run. The Colts' offensive line is 12th in sacks allowed and is without a critical injury; Crawford, Jeremy Mincey, and Henry Melton have their work cut out for them and need to blitz effectively like they did against the Eagles.
