Cole Beasley – Noteworthy
WR Cole Beasley had five catches for 51 yards against the Falcons. If he averages five catches per game the rest of the way, he’ll match his career-high of 75 receptions in 2016.
DeMarcus Lawrence – Noteworthy
DE DeMarcus Lawrence was credited with 1.5 sacks against Atlanta, bringing his season total to eight. He’s a little behind the pace he set a year ago when he led the NFL with 14.5 sacks. But Lawrence has fought through a shoulder injury and the thinning of the Dallas defensive line as a whole due to injury. If Lawrence and the rest of the Cowboys front start to heal up, he could still make a move to be the league’s sack leader.
Leighton Vander Esch – Noteworthy
LB Leighton Vander Esch intercepted a pass for the second-straight week and also posted eight tackles and three pass deflections against Atlanta. In the five games that Vander Esch has started in place of injured LB Sean Lee, the Cowboys have won four and lost just once.
