Cowboys' young offensive line to face toughest test

IRVING, Texas -- The Cowboys will pit the NFL's No. 2 rushing offense against Seattle's No. 1-ranked rushing defense on Sunday.

The Cowboys are averaging 160 yards per game on the ground. Much of the credit for that success is given to an offensive line that features three recent first-round draft picks: left tackle Tyron Smith (2011), center Travis Frederick (2013) and right guard Zack Martin (2014). 

They will be going up a Seattle defense that allows just 62.3 rushing yards a game. It will be the toughest test yet for the Cowboys' young but talented line.

"I think every game's a test for us," Frederick said. "There's always a different situation, whether it's the No. 1 rushing defense or whether you're down in a game or up in a game. It's always a different situation. That's what's so great about the game of football. You always get a new opportunity to prove yourself."
