Blue's eight carries vs. Mafah's four suggest emerging role in Cowboys backfield.

Blue got the start with the Cowboys backups and dominated snaps, earning eight opportunities to Phil Mafah's four. The source had been hesitant to raise Blue too high in rankings because he doesn't profile as the type of player who can take over a backfield if the starter goes down, but notes his mind is being opened by this performance.
