The Dallas Cowboys are counting on the best version of Dak Prescott, and there’s little concern about the wide receiver corps with a superstar like CeeDee Lamb, who continued to perform at an elite level despite not always having his starting quarterback.
However, there is one group that’s causing significant worry, well-identified by NFL analysts, which could either doom the season to failure or elevate it to success if improvements are made.

In a recent ESPN ranking, the running back position was pinpointed as a weakness for the Dallas Cowboys. No one can deny, especially recently, that a strong ground game brings you closer to victory-just look at what the Philadelphia Eagles achieved with Saquon Barkley.
“Biggest weakness: Running back. This wasn’t a tough choice for a team that hasn’t prioritized the position recently.
