The Dallas Cowboys are struggling with their running game, currently ranking last in the NFL for rushing yards per game and attempts. A combination of poor offseason decisions, including failing to draft a running back and not signing key free agents, has contributed to this decline.

With rookies on the offensive line and the possible decline of veteran players, the team faces significant challenges. Former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman emphasized the importance of a strong rushing attack for team success, noting the franchise's storied history in this area.

Despite attempts to rotate players like Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook, the Cowboys have yet to find a successful formula, with their offensive line also struggling. Coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged the challenges ahead as the team prepares for their upcoming matchup against the Falcons.
