From the article

Dart had 18 explosive runs last year, tied with Patrick Mahomes for most in the league, and a 61.6% rushing success rate, per NFL Pro. That was the highest among QBs with at least 35 carries last season, and the fourth-highest career mark among QBs with at least 75 carries in the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016). The Cowboys' defense gave up the third-most rush yards per game (23.4) and the most touchdowns (8) in the league to quarterbacks running.

Dart's elite rushing success rate and explosive run ability exploit Cowboys' weak QB-run defense.

Dart's mobility presents a significant challenge for the Cowboys defense. He had 18 explosive runs last year, tied with Patrick Mahomes for most in the league, and a 61.6% rushing success rate—the highest among QBs with at least 35 carries last season and the fourth-highest career mark among QBs with at least 75 carries in the Next Gen Stats era. The Cowboys gave up the third-most rush yards per game (23.4) and the most touchdowns (8) in the league to quarterbacks running. The source notes that Christian Parker's defense must keep Dart disciplined and prevent him from running for first downs, potentially using Caleb Downs as a spy to contain him before he reaches seven to ten yards downfield.
