The Dallas Cowboys faced significant challenges with their running game at the beginning of the 2024 season. Their attempt to use Ezekiel Elliott in a committee role was detrimental, but after a confrontation with coaching staff, Rico Dowdle emerged as the sole starter and showcased remarkable performance.
