Yeah, we need a run game and a solid D. No other way around it.
If Dak is your QB that's especially true.
73 games last year were won by teams with at least 100 yards rushing.
11 of those 73 wins were by the Cowboys.
That means 15% of the those were by the Dak Prescott lead Dallas Cowboys.
The Dallas Cowboys, who account for 3% of the NFL, won 15% of the total games won last season where there was at least 100 rushing yards.
That means the other 97% of the NFL won the other 85% of those game combined. That would be an average of 2.7% distributed to each team or about 2 games each. I know, some had more and some had less, but I'm not looking it all up.
The Cowboys, as a team, won 100% of the games last season where they had at least 100 rushing yards. They won 6% of their games that didn't have 100 rushing yards (Thank you to Cooper Rush or it would be 0%).
That's not very encouraging.
