Dak Prescott’s contributions won’t save Cowboys’ running game. So what is the solution?

For weeks, the Dallas Cowboys’ running game struggled so much that the activation of 29-year-old Dalvin Cook — on his third team in two years — was looked upon as a ray of hope. The Cowboys’ running game ranks dead last in the NFL at 74.1 yards per game. That comes back to Martin’s point that the Cowboys don’t need to have a miraculous worst-to-first story with their running game, but they do need to be “efficient” and “consistent.” GO DEEPER The Cowboys' 5 biggest needs: As NFL trade deadline nears, will Dallas make any moves? A formidable offensive line and healthy dose of Rico Dowdle are still the Cowboys’ best hope at a decent running game.
