The Patriots have the 5th best run defense in the NFL. Thats actually good...

#5 or #7 (actually, they're 5th at 78.0 ypg) out of 32 doesn't really matter, because most teams are playing from behind against them and end up having to throw to catch up. Even worse, they're #4 against the pass (178.7 ypg) so teams can't catch up.
As for their own running attack, New England's never worried about that. They use the pass to set up the pass, and they're still #7 in the league in rushing (141.7 ypg).
All the Cowboys exposed in the last two games are their own weaknesses.

I think the Cowboys showed that New England is better than previously thought. They scored more against Dallas than anyone else this year. I am not a Pats fan but they look like the team to beat.

I seen that even when covered, Jason Witten was able to get catches. So could the receivers. Peyton Manning has a good chance to pick the defense apart with his receivers and Dallas Clark.

You destroyed any credibility you had and you will be met with barbed sarcastic comments. Enjoy.
