The Cowboys invested heavily in their offensive line and have become consistent winners behind the unit with the NFL’s highest salary-cap figure. While Dallas isn’t the only example of a club benefiting from a heavy investment up front, the New England Patriots are several notches higher than Dallas as an elite team with a more frugal approach.

FILE - In this Oct. 27, 2019, file photo, Oakland Raiders center Rodney Hudson (61) leaves the team's NFL football game against the Houston Texans after an injury during the first half in Houston. The Raiders are preparing to make do without the anchor of their offensive line. Hudson missed practice on Wednesday with a sprained ankle that knocked him out of last week's loss at Houston and appears unlikely to be able to play this week against the Detroit Lions. Hudson is one of the most valuable members of the offense for the Raiders because of his strong blocking in the pass and run games and the ability to get the entire offense into the correct protections.
