So basically, I see people always say this about the 2018 game vs the Rams that we couldn’t run and the defense gave up 200 plus yards.
The rams were not going to let the Zeke run. It is up to the quarterback you want to pay top money to perform at the top level. If the run game is being keyed on, make them pay for that or find ways to run it and have the attitude that you can't stop us.
After the scripted drive to score a touchdown, the possessions the rest of the half were punt, punt, punt. One of those being 3 and out. The stats that Sturm posted prove exactly this. Btw, we began the 2nd half with another 3 out. Then the next possession was that pass to Gallup down the sideline which was our most positive play since the first possession. Dak wasn't bad the 2nd half but he didn't play like he was some elite quarterback in that game. If I remember correctly, even after giving up all those yards on the ground, Dallas STILL had chances to come back in this game.
