The\u00a0Detroit Lions\u00a0embarrassed the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0in Week 6, and while there are a host of problems Dallas must address to get back on track, developing a viable running game remains among the most pressing.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys ran the ball for just 53 yards in a 47-9 home loss to the Lions on Sunday, October 13. Running back\u00a0Rico Dowdle\u00a0led the way with 5 carries for 25 yards, while\u00a0Ezekiel Elliott\u00a0carried the ball 8 times for only 17 yards, according to\u00a0ESPN.<\/p>\n

Part of the specific issue was that Dallas fell behind so quickly and by so much that the team simply had to resort to throwing the football an outsized percentage of the time — Cowboys QBs combined to attempt 44 passes compared to only 17 runs out of the backfield.<\/p>\n

Still, Dallas has been among the\u00a0NFL’s\u00a0worst squads on the ground all season. The Cowboys are currently second-to-last in the league with just 463 total rushing yards and tied for last with only 2 TDs, per\u00a0NFL.com.<\/p>\n

The team Dallas is tied with at the bottom of the league, the\u00a0Cleveland Browns, just lost its starting running back in\u00a0Jerome Ford\u00a0to a hamstring injury. However, four-time Pro Bowler\u00a0Nick Chubb\u00a0is expected to return next week against the\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0— his first game back since suffering a devastating knee injury against the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 of last season.<\/p>\n

That said, Cleveland is 1-5 and on the verge of being forced to punt on the season and tank for a top pick in the 2025 draft, where it can find a QB to replace\u00a0Deshaun Watson. If\/when that becomes an official reality, the Browns may not have any use for Chubb, as he will only help them to win games that would be more beneficial to lose.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Chubb agreed to a restructured contract that dropped his salary to just under\u00a0$2.3 million\u00a0this year and will be an unrestricted free agent in March 2025 heading into his age-30 season.<\/p>\n

While the Browns may no longer have need for Chubb’s contributions, the running back will certainly desire a stage to prove he has returned healthy and can still perform at a high level. There is no better opportunity for that than the one offered by a highly publicized, not to mention highly criticized, 3-3 Cowboys team looking to turn its season around.<\/p>\n

Cleveland could get a late Day 2 or early Day 3 pick in return for Chubb, who doesn’t appear on track to be back with the team next season anyway, while the Cowboys could get a running back with\u00a06,511 yards and 48 TDs\u00a0across 77 career games — a win on both sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
