Everyone saw the play from Dallas’s Week 5 win over Cincinnati.
Left tackle Tyron Smith stood up Michael Johnson on the edge, guard Zack Martin redirected Geno Atkins ever so slightly, and TE Geoff Swain motioned from right to left before crossing the line again to block Carlos Dunlap. And with one quick, explosive cut, Ezekiel Elliott was off.
The Cowboys’s rookie running back then turned on the afterburners to split two safeties and race 60 yards to the end zone.
This is what opposing teams have come to deal with this season, and what the top-ranked Packers’s rush defense faces Sunday: a Dallas offense with a dominant line and a running back who might bypass the Offensive Rookie of the Year conversation for the MVP line.
