The Dallas Cowboys' running game has surged recently, largely due to Rico Dowdle's standout performances. Over the last three games, Dowdle has showcased impressive power and agility, making him a formidable opponent on the field.

Head coach Mike McCarthy has praised Dowdle's running style and ball security, noting his exceptional contact balance. With a three-game streak of 100-yard rushing performances, Dowdle is closing in on his first 1,000-yard season, a remarkable feat for an undrafted free agent.

Leading the league in several rushing categories, Dowdle's potential as an every-down back is being closely watched by McCarthy, who sees the possibility for him to excel in both rushing and passing situations.
