Roy Williams has been criticized for not making himself available for comment after bad games, so give him credit for talking to the media today.
Williams wanted to make it clear that one rough game doesn't mean Dallas has a bad defense. Tom Brady lit the Cowboys up for 388 yards and five TDs, but Williams isn't too worried.
"Brady is a good quarterback, but don't discredit us," said Williams, who didn't appear to be the burn victim of any TDs. "Just because we didn't stop them on third down doesn't mean we're not a good defense."
Williams pointed to the Patriots' third-down conversion percentage (11 of 17, 65 percent) as the biggest problem. Brady completed 11 of 13 third-down passes for 155 yards and two TDs.
Correct my math if it's wrong, but I believe that means Brady was 20 of 33 for 233 yards and three TDs on first and second down. Those stats aren't pretty from a Cowboys perspective, either.
