The Dallas Cowboys face a daunting test in Week 13 when they host the New Orleans Saints. However, it appears defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence likes his team's chances.
It is no secret that the Saints boast one of the most high-powered offenses in the NFL. According to ESPN's Todd Archer, Lawrence did not hold back when it came to the Cowboys' game plan in stopping them.
“They're going to have to match our intensity,” Lawrence said. “S—, for 60 minutes straight. If you hit a m—–f—– in the mouth and then they ain't doing what they're regularly doing, putting up 50 points, they start to get a little distressed. Now you got them where you want them at, and then you f—ing choke their ass out.”
These are certainly some bold comments from Lawrence. Of course, following through on his plan is much easier said than done. The Saints offense virtually has no weaknesses. They have arguably the best offensive line in the NFL, a first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback under center, and a star-studded supporting cast around him.
Fortunately, the Cowboys defense has also been quite formidable. The anchor of their defense has been its front led by Lawrence. He his in the midst of another Pro Bowl season after registering 8.5 sacks, 25 quarterback pressures, and to tackles for loss. It is clear that he plans on being more than a handful for the Saints' offensive line. Much like New Orleans, Dallas also has some good momentum on their side after winning their last three games. They will need to find a way to contain this offense if they hope to extend their win streak to four.
