4. Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard will both have over 1,000 rushing yards

For this to happen, the Cowboys are going to have to get back a healthy Elliott and have a changing of the guard at playcaller. Elliott and Pollard are one of the most talented running back duos in the league. However, we have yet to really see them on the field at the same time or see a balanced workload out of the two.

Keeping them both fresh is a big part of this happening but they will be able to do that by splitting the snaps 50/50 and getting them on the field at the same time forcing teams to pick their poison.

We know both are dangerous with the football in their hands. Elliott has a bruising and aggressive playstyle and Pollard has the speed and big-play ability. If Dallas is able to harness this, they will have one of the most deadly offenses in the league by being able to impose their will on defenses either running the football or passing it with Prescott. I have a feeling we are going to get the best out of these two in 2022.
