"This is a mindblowing stat... According to Cowboys PR, going back to 1978, there has NEVER been a game in which the Cowboys have had a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver in the same half of a game. Never Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin. Never Zeke Elliott and Dez Bryant. Never Tony Dorsett and Drew Pearson. Javonte Williams and Ryan Flournoy, just as we all would predict,"
"Flournoy caught two passes over 40 yards in the opening half, finishing with 104 receiving yards by halftime. Williams matched that dominance on the ground, racking up 108 rushing yards before the break. The achievement stands out given Dallas' history of elite offensive pairings. Hall of Famers Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith never managed simultaneous halves like this, nor did combinations like Ezekiel Elliott with Dez Bryant or DeMarco Murray with Bryant."
Javonte Williams rushed for 108 yards in the first half and finished the game with 135 yards and a touchdown. Ryan Flournoy amassed 104 receiving yards by halftime, including two catches over 40 yards, and finished with 114 receiving yards on six catches plus 10 rushing yards on two attempts. The pair became the first Cowboys duo since at least 1978 to produce a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver in the same half. The feat eclipsed previous Dallas combinations such as Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin and Ezekiel Elliott and Dez Bryant. Flournoy entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick after playing at three universities.
