The Dallas Cowboys are having problems. The defense gets the brunt of the criticism because overall their performance has been worse, but injuries have put them behind the eight ball. The offense, however, has few excuses. Most of their players are healthy, yet they are not living up to expectations.
The issues are plentiful. The ground attack is a blinking red light for the offense's underwhelming play. The Cowboys rank dead last in rushing yards this season. Advanced stats show that Rico Dowdle is ranked 18th for running backs in EPA/attempt while Ezekiel Elliott is ranked 41st.
