EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — When opposing coaches look at the New York Giants defense, they aren’t focusing on edge rushers Kayvon Thibodeaux or Brian Burns or inside linebacker Bobby Okereke. Dallas coach Mike McCarthy knows the biggest challenge facing the Cowboys on Thursday night when they meet the Giants. It starts with slowing down the big guy in the middle — defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. With the retirement of Aaron Donald, Lawrence could have a claim on being the best interior defensive lineman in the NFL.
