Darren McFadden Having Career Season With The Cowboys

Things are looking up and down for the Dallas Cowboys this year. While they are plagued with injuries, especially with quarterback Tony Romo out for the year, losing games and being out of the playoff race within the NFC East, there is one upside within the current offense.

During yesterday’s late afternoon game against the Green Bay Packers, running back Darren McFadden rushed for 111 yards on nine carries, making it his fourth 100-yard game of the year. With this, he has a total of 798 yards rushing which will ultimately lead to 800 yards rushing, his second in his eight-year career. The last time he had reached over 800 yards was in 2010 when he ran for 1,157 yards with the Oakland Raiders.

Despite his career-spanning season, the Cowboys are now 4-9 after losing to the Packers 28-7 yesterday in Lambeau Field. With no playoff hopes in the distance, the Cowboys organization have a lot of questions to answer, especially with star wide receiver Dez Bryant being dormant recently in the offensive scheme and head coach Jason Garrett’s future.
