If my research is not correct, and if not somebody will surely point it out, then please correct me if I am wrong here.
But, according to PFR Week 11 of 2019 against the 3-6-1 Detroit Lions is the last time we won a game with less than 100 rushing yards with Dak at QB.
Andy Dalton lead us to victory in Week 15 of 2020 with under 100 yards of rushing support.
Cooper Rush lead us to victory in his lone start against the Vikings in 2021 without 100 rushing yards of support.
When/If Dak comes back it is absolutely necessary that we continue to keep the rush game going and balanced if we want to win games and be successful more consistently. We cannot give up on the run quickly and we must limit the ability for Dak to audible out of plays so much if we want to have success. There NEEDS to be a balance and that needs to come from both the play calling and Dak sticking to the runs instead of audibling out of them as he has been known to do.
