## Resource

The Cowboys’ playoff hopes hinge on one rookie: Caleb Downs, their 11th overall pick from Ohio State. With a shaky defense last season and a shaky cornerback corps, the team’s biggest gamble—and biggest need—is for Downs to immediately elevate their playmaking. If he can just make the defense average, it could be the difference-maker in their push for the postseason. Expectations are sky-high for the rookie, and his performance will be the season’s defining storyline. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
