Unstoppable Cowboys running game, meet immovable Packers rush defense

The Cowboys have an offensive line many think is the best in football.

Its play is a big reason rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott leads the NFL with 546 rushing yards. But the Cowboys will face their toughest test yet Sunday at Lambeau Field against a Packers defense that has been historically good against the run.

The Packers (3-1) have allowed just 171 rushing yards in four games, an average of 42.8 yards per game and only 2 yards per carry. The single-game average is 26 yards better than the next best team. Only one other team in NFL history — the 1995 49ers — has given up fewer rushing yards through four games than this year’s Packers.
