28 Nov
Summary
- Malik Davis scored his first touchdown in three years against the Chiefs.
- Davis, a backup running back, found the end zone on a 43-yard run.
- He played college football at Florida before going undrafted in 2022.
Dallas Cowboys' backup running back Malik Davis experienced a significant moment on Thanksgiving Day, scoring his first touchdown in three years against the Kansas City Chiefs. The electrifying 43-yard scamper into the end zone was a career highlight for Davis, who hadn't found the end zone since 2022. This unexpected score came during a game where the Cowboys' offense showcased its diverse threats.
Davis, originally from Tampa, Florida, played collegiately at the University of Florida from 2017 to 2021, accumulating over 1,400 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. Undrafted in 2022, he was signed by the Cowboys and has since navigated between the active roster and practice squad. His playing time has been limited, with only a few appearances in previous seasons.
This touchdown provided a bright spot for Davis amidst a season where veteran Javonte Williams has been the primary running back for Dallas. Davis entered the game with only 10 carries for the season, underscoring the rarity and personal significance of his Thanksgiving Day score.
