He also surpassed the 1,000-yard career rushing mark and now has 1,030.
In the Cowboys' 11 games, Barber has scored at least one touchdown in eight of them. He has three games with two scores, including the past two contests.
Barber has nine rushing touchdowns this season, the most rushing scores of anyone in the NFC. He has 11 total touchdowns, the fourth most in the NFL

Career yards. Honestly, I thought he had more than that.

Sounds about right. He had around 500 last year, right?

I think it said career rushing and not for this season.

"He also surpassed the 1,000-yard career rushing mark and now has 1,030."

Let's note that this is for his career, not for this season. He's playing well, doing what he's asked,but lets be clear that this production is over two seasons.

If he only got 5 yards and they were all 1 yard TD's... that all I care about....

The guy is part of what is turning out to be a GREAT Tag Team RB combination.... we have 2 FRESH guys for our stretch run.... good move by BP
