Cardinals' struggling run game faces Cowboys' poor rush defense

The Arizona Cardinals will rely heavily on their rushing attack against the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 8 matchup on October 30, 2026. Although the Cardinals' run game has struggled, ranking 23rd in rushing yards and averaging just 3.7 yards per attempt, they face a Cowboys defense that has been susceptible to the run. Dallas has allowed the most rushing yards this season, with five games yielding over 120 yards. The Cardinals have bolstered their offensive line but face challenges, including the potential absence of key players like center Hjalte Froholdt. Success in the run game may significantly influence the game's outcome.
