Our whole thing here is to establish the run. We've got to stick with this run. It's easier to play well when the running game is softening up the defense, and drawing a safety or two closer to the line of scrimmage.

Cowboys shifting to run-first offense; Prescott benefits from softened defense.

The Cowboys are shifting to a run-first offensive approach under Jerry Jones's direction, moving away from a pass-first system. On Monday night, the Cowboys ran for 204 yards and passed for 212 yards as part of this strategic pivot. Jones stated "Our whole thing here is to establish the run" and "We've got to stick with this run." While Prescott played well in the game, the source notes it's easier to perform when the running game softens the defense and draws safeties closer to the line of scrimmage. The run-first approach worked on Monday night, whereas the pass-first system had not been effective.
