Beat Writers Report: Will Wilcox regain his starting role? - Calvin Watkins, ESPN Dallas
Watkins offers five thoughts in his weekly column, one of which is about the second safety behind Barry Church.
The Cowboys have maintained Heath's starting role, giving Wilcox defensive snaps off the bench. Wilcox is a better player yet there is a comfort level in using Heath right now as the starter.

Mark Gaughan points out that Mike Shanahan is 24-35 through almost four full seasons, and may not get a fifth in Washington, considering that after the game today, they host the Chiefs, travel to Atlanta, host the Cowboys and close the season in New York.

Albert Breer writes that Redskins coaches apparently noticed an insecurity with Griffin this season and thought that the fear of losing his job to Kirk Cousins might have been part of his motivation to quickly return from ACL surgery.
