Philadelphia was without Jalen Hurts and two starting wide receivers. That doesn't mean the Cowboys should suddenly be considered Super Bowl contenders. But Mauricio Rodriguez believes Dallas found several things in this game that can actually be repeated moving forward. And it starts with the run game. Javonte Williams exploded for 155 rushing yards, but the story wasn't simply that Dallas finally gave its running back more opportunities. The Cowboys found a creative way to run the football. Dallas used Broderick Jones as an extra offensive lineman on a number of rushing plays, including one 34-yard Javonte Williams run where Jones lined up next to Tyler Guyton, blocked the edge rusher and then climbed to the second level. Guyton was able to finish the end man on the line of scrimmage, creating a massive hole for Williams. That is exactly the type of creative solution the Cowboys had been missing. Dallas also leaned heavily toward the left side of the offensive line. At one point, 83% of the Cowboys' runs were going toward the left. Tyler Smith was moving defenders at left guard. Tyler Guyton continued to play well at left tackle. And Broderick Jones gave the Cowboys another physical blocker to use in the run game. The result? 204 rushing yards. 112 yards after contact. Javonte Williams also produced an outstanding EPA per rush number, according to the data Mauricio cites. The Cowboys aren't going to use jumbo personnel packages every single week. But this was a legitimate answer against a physical Eagles defense. And the Cowboys found another answer with George Pickens. Mauricio had been calling for Dallas to move Pickens around more and create manufactured mismatches. Against Philadelphia, the Cowboys finally did it. On one play, Pickens lined up in the slot while Jake Ferguson moved outside. Philadelphia's best corner, Quinton Mitchell, followed Ferguson outside, leaving Pickens one-on-one against a safety. That's exactly the type of matchup Dallas should be creating for Pickens. The result was another big receiving performance. Pickens finished with 70 receiving yards, while CeeDee Lamb also topped 70 yards and scored two touchdowns. Dak Prescott wasn't perfect. His accuracy wasn't always sharp, and he had some misfires. But he also delivered three outstanding throws into the end zone and helped Dallas produce another 30-plus-point performance. After two straight weeks of offensive struggles, that is something the Cowboys can build on. There are still concerns. Dallas didn't generate enough pass rush. The defense deserves some skepticism because Philadelphia was extremely banged up. And Mauricio believes Brian Schottenheimer's play calling was too conservative at critical moments. Dallas didn't go for it on fourth-and-three during the opening drive. Then, late in the game with a chance to go up by two touchdowns, the Cowboys ran the ball on third-and-eight before settling for a field goal. And Dak Prescott showed he can still make the big throws when Dallas gives him enough answers. Can the Cowboys build on this? Was this the beginning of a real offensive turnaround? Mauricio Rodriguez breaks down the biggest things Dallas discovered in its win over Philadelphia and explains why Cowboys fans should take this victory seriously — while still keeping the proper perspective.
