Dallas Cowboys: This play illustrates why Ezekiel Elliott is still elite
Dallas Cowboys: There Aren’t A Ton Of Backs That Could Have Made That Play
That should have been the preferred option anyway, as you take some of the onus away from the Viking offense and your defense, but this set yourself up to win, outright.
That’s exactly what they did and in large part, if not completely, due to a huge play from the elite back we call Zeke. With two guys coming in to bring him down before the line to gain here, most running backs and that probably includes Tony Pollard, go down.

Ezekiel Elliott did that on Sunday, continues to do that for the Cowboys, and will be a huge part of their success throughout the remainder of the year. This though and specifically that game-winning play, illustrates just why Ezekiel Elliott is still an elite back in the NFL. And that’s regardless of what some might say or think.
