Running back Rico Dowdle and the Dallas Cowboys will collide with the NFL's 23rd-ranked run defense when they play the New York Giants in Week 4. Kickoff is set for 8:15 PM ET on Thursday.

Unlike the past two losses, against the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the Cowboys' offense was able to answer after the New York Giants opened with a field goal drive. It wasn't always pretty thanks to some penalties, but the drive ended with a 15-yard screen pass from Dak Prescott to running back Rico Dowdle to give Dallas a 7-3 lead.

The sky was falling for the Dallas Cowboys through the first three weeks of the 2024 season following consecutive home losses in which they were run over by the New Orleans Saints (44-19) and the Baltimore Ravens (28-25).
