Could Cowboys Have Two 1,000 Yard Rushers In 2015?

Only six times in NFL history have two teammates rushed for more than 1,000 yards each in the same season. Could the 2015 Cowboys make it seven with their running-back-by-committee approach?

In 2013, the Dallas Cowboys ranked 31st in the league with just 336 rush attempts. The Cowboys then brought in Scott Linehan as offensive coordinator, a guy known for his pass-heavy offenses. And when that guy announced in May of 2014 that the running game "is going to be our strength," the more trollish observers and pundits covering the Cowboys couldn't hold back their derisive sneers and snarky laughter.
