2. Osa Odighizuwa, DT

What a day for Osa! The former UCLA Bruin has been excellent for the Cowboys even though he may not always get all the love and name recognition.

There were many Dallas defense members with tackles for loss against LA, and Odighizuwa was one of them. That goes along with another tackle, four QB hits, and a sack.

His fourth-quarter sack was a huge moment for Dallas. Although America’s Team was up by 12, the Rams were making an attempt to move down the field. On 2nd and 9 with just over four minutes to go, the second-year tackle evades an offensive lineman and runs after Stafford from behind before dragging him to the ground.

The big guy got up and gave a big roar after the great move. The former Bruin was one of many players who made Stafford’s life incredibly difficult on Sunday. This was truly a breakout game for the 24-year-old.
