🛑Historic First Half for the Dallas Cowboys: Javonte Williams and Ryan Flournoy Make Franchise History
The Dallas Cowboys just pulled off something that hasn’t happened in nearly half a century of football. According to Cowboys PR, for the first time since 1978, Dallas had both a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver in the same half — a feat that even the legendary duos of the past couldn’t achieve.
In Sunday’s game, Javonte Williams exploded for 108 rushing yards in the first half, setting the tone early with his physical running style and burst through the tackles. Meanwhile, rookie standout Ryan Flournoy lit up the secondary with 104 receiving yards before halftime, showcasing his speed and connection with Dak Prescott.
To put it in perspective —
Not Emmitt & Irvin.
Not Zeke & Dez.
Not Dorsett & Pearson.
None of them ever did it. And yet, Williams and Flournoy — two new faces in this Cowboys offense — just etched their names into team history.
It’s the kind of explosive balance that’s turning heads around the league and proving that Dallas’ offensive firepower runs deep. If this is any indication of what’s ahead, the rest of the NFL better take notice.
Football is wild. Cowboys football? Even wilder. 💥⭐️
