Quinnen Williams’ Fast Start Fuels Cowboys’ Defensive Revival and Playoff Push

Williams credits Dallas’ front-seven cohesion for his quick impact after the deadline overhaul.

Overview

  • Since the trade deadline, Dallas has won three straight to reach 6-5 and move into second place in the NFC East.
  • Williams pointed to line-mates Kenny Clark and Osa Odighizuwa for creating favorable matchups, logging 1.5 sacks in his debut and nine tackles across his first three games.
  • The Cowboys acquired Williams from the Jets for a 2027 first-round pick, a 2026 second-rounder and defensive tackle Mazi Smith, and also added linebacker Logan Wilson.
  • Cornerback Trevon Diggs said his recent concussion resulted from an at-home accident and he is eyeing a return for Thursday night’s game at Detroit.
  • Owner Jerry Jones has said he tried to trade for Williams before the season with an offer that included Micah Parsons and a first-round pick.
