What happened: Tyler Goodson has carved out a rotational role in the Dallas backfield since joining the team in September. The fourth-year running back has provided a quick, slashing complement on offense across six appearances.
Why it matters: Dallas sits at 4-5 following a 27-23 victory over Indianapolis as the team aims to stay in the postseason race. Establishing reliable backfield depth helps stabilize the offense as the Cowboys navigate the second half of the schedule.
By the numbers: Goodson has run 28 times for 86 yards in 2026 through 6 games.
What to watch: Dallas continues its regular-season slate aiming to secure consecutive wins and reach .500.
