Logan Wilson came in with the reputation of being the better coverage linebacker, but his season numbers, from Cincinnati and Dallas, aren't adding up. He's allowed 202 yards, and has surrendered a 125.8 passer rating. His coverage grade is 43.2, which ranks near the bottom of the league. Don't get me wrong, Murray is not perfect, but he's been steadier in this area.

Williams changed everything up front from the first series. He consistently dented the pocket, forced the Geno Smith to reset the pocket constantly, and drew enough double-teams to free stunts and one-on-ones for everyone else. Against the run he played heavy-handed and finished right on the line so there were no cheap yards after contact. As for Wilson, he brought order and calm to the middle of the field.

After the Bengals reduced his playing time, linebacker Logan Wilson requested a trade out of Cincinnati in late October. The Bengals granted his wish a few hours before the deadline on Tuesday, sending him to the Cowboys for a 2026 seventh-round pick. The Bengals received other offers for Wilson, but they liked the Cowboys' the best.

The sixth-year player has started in all seven of his appearances this season. However, the team captain has seen his role reduced over the course of the season. Rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. have received the bulk of the team's defensive snaps. Wilson, a third-round pick in the 2020 draft, has been a pivotal member of Cincinnati's defense in the turnaround.
