Dallas Cowboys running back Darren McFadden will start this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Dallas Cowboys reporter Mike Fisher.
McFadden is coming off his biggest game of the season against the Giants, as he rushed for 152 yards and scored a touchdown. McFadden looked to hit the hole hard on Sunday, and the Cowboys will want to see more of the same this weekend.
"It was good to see that he had it in him," said head coach Jason Garrett, via ESPN. "Once he got going in that ballgame I think we all felt that, 'Let's keep giving this guy the rock.' I just thought he played really, really well in the game and took advantage of an opportunity. I think his impact on the running game was significant. Obviously we block them as well, and there were a lot of opportunities for him, but if you watch him at the end of runs, the end of the inside runs, the end of the runs off the tackle, at the end of the runs in space, I think you see what he's all about."
The Cowboys will need McFadden to continue to play well, as it is unclear if running back Joseph Randle will be able to play. Randle is reportedly day-to-day with an oblique strain he suffered against the Giants, according to NFL reporter Jeremy Bergman.
No matter who is in the backfield, the Cowboys will need their offensive line to continue to block like they did last week. If the Cowboys offensive line is able to create holes on Sunday, look for McFadden to have a big day against the Seahawks.
