Dallas entered the game as small road underdogs. But they controlled this one early on, going up 10-0 in the second quarter. That helped the team fire off 39 total rushes.

Per Next Gen Stats, Dowdle ranked up 91 rush yards on carries inside the tackles. Credit Dallas’ O-line for creating a push – and Dowdle for continuing to show a strong power/speed combo.

He’ll retain RB1 upside next week vs. Tampa Bay.
