The Dallas Cowboys scored 37 points Sunday. Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes. CeeDee Lamb went over 150 receiving yards. The offense looked explosive, efficient and, for long stretches, exactly like the unit Dallas hoped it would have in 2026. There was just one thing missing. Somewhere between the offensive line and the line of scrimmage, the running lanes seem to have disappeared. Through two games, Dallas has rushed for just 135 yards. The Cowboys managed 69 yards

Dallas has been charged with 21 missed tackles through two games. For a defense trying to leave a historically poor 2025 behind, that’s a fixable habit it can’t afford to keep.
