Quinnen Williams takes full responsibility for Cowboys defense flopping so far

Dallas Cowboys' defensive tackle Quinnen Williams has taken full accountability for the team's struggling defense this season. After a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Williams called for a defensive players-only meeting to discuss the issues. He refused to share the details of the meeting but acknowledged his responsibility for the team's performance.

In five games, Williams has logged 15 total tackles, one sack, and a forced fumble. The Cowboys are allowing 395.4 total yards per game and 27.2 points per game, both of which rank in the bottom half of the NFL. Coach Brian Schottenheimer praised Williams' initiative to have a serious discussion with his teammates, emphasizing that the most successful teams are led by the locker room. The Cowboys face the Green Bay Packers in their next game on Sunday.
