Overview

  • Fresh off 206 rushing yards and a late go-ahead touchdown in a 27–24 win over the Dolphins, Rico Dowdle said his old team should “buckle up” as he prepares to face Dallas.
  • Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer acknowledged the remark, saying, “We’re gonna have our seatbelts, Rico,” as he addressed Dowdle’s comments unprompted.
  • Executive vice president Stephen Jones lauded Dowdle’s performance on 105.3 The Fan and noted the team opted to sign Javonte Williams instead of re-signing him.
  • Dowdle handled lead-back duties with Chuba Hubbard sidelined by a calf injury, and Hubbard’s Week 6 status remains uncertain.
  • Dallas has struggled against the run this season, allowing 127.4 rushing yards per game and 144 to the Jets last week, a matchup factor that could favor Dowdle’s workload.
