    Grinding Out A Win

    Dallas Cowboys' reliance on run game produces rare back-to-back wins

    Matthew Postins
    Nov 29, 2013 | 9:48 am

    Are the Dallas Cowboys on the verge of stumbling into a productive running game? It’s possible, if what happened on Thanksgiving Day is a trend and not an aberration. The Cowboys rushed for 144 yards in their 31-24 win against the Oakland Raiders. It was the second-most productive rushing performance of the season, behind only their 193-yard game against St. Louis in week three.

    More significantly, the performance represents back-to-back 100-yard rushing games for the Cowboys after they gained 107 rushing yards against the New York Giants last Sunday. Why is it significant? The last time the Cowboys have back-to-back 100-yard rushing games was nearly two years ago.

    For once, it wasn’t all DeMarco Murray, who entered the game as one of just two NFL backs with at least 100 carries and better than a 5.0-yard per rush average. Murray rushed for 63 yards and a career-high three rushing touchdowns.

    The Cowboys have had back-to-back 100-yard rushing games — and wins.

    No, this time, second-year back Lance Dunbar got in on the act. And it might be the best thing that could have happened to the Cowboys.

    Dunbar gained 82 yards on 12 carries, with 78 coming in a dazzling third quarter in which Dunbar proved what he could be when paired with Murray. Dunbar had the game’s biggest run, a 45-yarder that set up wide receiver Dez Bryant’s game-tying touchdown reception. That run showed off everything Dunbar can offer: top-end speed, quickness to the hole and elusiveness that Murray does not have.

    On that run, the Raiders defense seemed to be in slow motion. They weren’t expecting Dunbar’s acceleration out of the hole.

    In the past you could accuse the Cowboys of abandoning the running game in a game in which they fell behind by 14 points. But they didn’t on Thursday. The Cowboys told reporters after the bye-week that they were going to be more patient with the run game. And on Thursday that’s what they were — patient.

    The Cowboys kept going back to the run game. It was Murray’s second touchdown run that cut the lead to 21-14 just before halftime, a score that seemed to give the Cowboys momentum at the break.

    The scoring drive that Dunbar’s 45-yard run set up came with five runs and five passes. The following scoring drive, which ended with Murray’s seven-yard score in the fourth quarter, featured more runs (five) than passes (three).

    Dunbar left the game with a knee injury. The Cowboys are hoping it’s not severe, because this combination has the potential to be dynamic in December.

    The defense helped as well. After allowing the Raiders to convert their first seven third downs of the game, the Cowboys defense got the Raiders off the field on their final six third downs.

    That created shorter drives for the Raider offense and put the Raider defense on the field longer. The result, with the success of the Cowboys’ run game, was a worn out Raiders defense.

    The Cowboys’ final scoring drive, which resulted in a Dan Bailey field goal and a 10-point lead, used 6:39 of clock and featured 10 running plays out of 14 total plays. By the end of this game the Cowboys’ run blocking was dominant. And it couldn’t come at a better time.

    The Cowboys have won three of their last four games, but all three wins were against teams under .500. The Cowboys have two road games remaining in Chicago and Washington, and both of those games could feature bad weather. At the least it will be frigid.

    If the Cowboys can run the ball in those games the way they ran the ball against Oakland they have a chance to win both. This is the time of year when a dominant run game comes in really handy as the temperature drops and the playoffs loom.

    Dallas Wings new women's basketball stars get warm welcome from city

    The Dallas Wings No. 1 draft pick Paige Bueckers brings big hopes for fans in the 2025 season

    The newest members of women's basketball team the Dallas Wings are already making waves: Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, and her fellow new recruits were welcomed by a press conference at Dallas City Hall on April 23 — part of the Dallas Wings' official introduction of the rookie class.

    According to a releasae, Dallas Wings draftees Paige Bueckers, Aziaha James, Madison Scott, JJ Quinerly, and Aaronette Vonleh were welcomed by Mayor Eric Johnson and City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert, and gifted with cowboy hats by the City of Dallas Economic Development Corporation.

    The team will start the 2025-2026 season playing at the Memorial Arena in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. Their home arena is College Park Center on the UT Arlington campus, with one exception: They'll be playing their June 27 game against the Indiana Fever, featuring superstar Caitlin Clark, at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

    Fans will have to pony up the big bucks for that epic game, with the price for two tickets starting at $255, although the upper 300 level has not yet been opened for sale. Those wanting to sit near the floor behind the baseline will run themselves a pretty $1,205 for two seats.

    After Clark joined the WNBA in 2024, almost half of the other teams in the league moved their home games against the Fever to larger arenas. All of the other Wings home games are currently scheduled to take place at College Park Center.

    If all goes as planned, 2025 will be the last season for the Wings at that venue. In 2024, the team announced plans to move to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas Memorial Arena in Dallas, starting with the 2026 season.

    Bueckers joins the Wings after closing out her college career by winning her first national championship, with Connecticut dominating the previous champions, South Carolina, 82-59. She's considered by many to be the league's next superstar.

    The 2025 Dallas Wings season comes with much anticipation. Since the end of the 2024 season, the Wings have revamped their front office, which included the hiring of Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Curt Miller and Head Coach Chris Koclanes. In addition to the 2025 WNBA Draft Class, Miller made significant roster moves during free agency which included signing reigning WNBA Most Improved Player DiJonai Carrington, 2022 All-Rookie Team pick NaLyssa Smith, former Wings guard Tyasha Harris and 2020 All-WNBA Second Team member Myisha Hines-Allen.
