Needless to say, the Cowboys would have
to depend on their highly ranked rushing
game if Dak doesn't play, the Vikings weak-
ness on rushing defense:
o 15th in fewest 20+ yard rushing plays allowed per game - 0.5
o 26th in fewest rushing yards allowed per game - 128.0
o 29th in fewest rushing yards allowed per attempt - 4.8
The Cowboys available strength on offense,
only rushing if Dak doesn't play:
o 2nd in most rushing yards per game - 164.3
o 3rd in most rushing yards per attempt - 5.08
o Tied for 5th in most 20+ yard rushing plays per game - 0.83
