The Cowboys must improve against the run in 2024 and Jerry Jones believes they already have.
Stopping the run has been a problem for the Dallas Cowboys over what we will refer to as this little “run” that they are on. To be clear, the run in question is the three consecutive playoff seasons. The 2021-2023 seasons were ended by the San Francisco 49ers twice before the Green Bay Packers added their name to the list. There is a Wild Card win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tom Brady’s last-ever game also included.
In the first two playoff losses the Cowboys were mostly bounced because of their inability to defend the run. In the latter they were bounced because of pretty much everything possible. Needless to say that stopping opposing teams on the ground when it matters most has been an issue for this group.
