In 2018, the Dallas Cowboys once again were one of the best running teams in the National Football League. Behind All-Pro runner Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas finished 10th in the NFL in rushing averaging 122.7 rushing yards per game.
Although 10th in the league doesn’t seem like an eye-opening number, down the stretch of the season Dallas ran the ball much better, and Elliott ran for 85 or more yards six of the final seven games of the Cowboys regular season.
In the first round of the playoffs, Dallas again leaned on their running game to impose their will, and Elliott and the Dallas rushing attack had a very solid day, rushing for 164 total yards and two touchdowns in a 24-22 victory.
