The Dallas Cowboys are looking to address their offensive struggles as they face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Currently averaging just 81.6 rushing yards per game, Dallas ranks 30th in the league. Improving their rushing attack could enhance their overall performance and help control time of possession. Running back Javonte Williams has struggled this season, but the offensive line is reportedly at its best as run blockers. Establishing a strong run game could benefit both the offense and the defense by keeping the defense off the field more frequently.
