While the Cowboys may have managed just three points in Thursday night’s Hall of Fame Game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a few offensive players did flash a bit. Among them was running back Rico Dowdle, whose 43 yards on eight carries (5.4 per avg.) displayed his great burst and quick feet, capped off by a 25-yard scamper through the heart of the Steeler defense. It was a solid showing in a game in which second-string running back Tony Pollard rushed just twice for nine yards.
A second-year player, Dowdle originally went undrafted out of South Carolina before signing with the Cowboys and then suiting up in 15 games last season.
