Dallas Cowboys

Zeke Elliot

Bounces Back with the best game of the year. So basically the extra rest helped. Hey it showed on Sunday. He had a calf injury that sidelined him a week ago against San Francisco. He has been dealing with calf injury for the past four games. He suffered a contusion Dec. 8 against Baltimore. He has only missed one game due to injury in his NFL career. Elliot on Sunday averaged a season-high 5.5 yards, including a season-high 31-yard gain in the fourth quarter to help the Cowboys seal a third straight victory. With Sunday’s win, the Cowboys 6-9 are on the doorstep of an NFC East title- with a little help. They must beat the New York Giants next Sunday and hope the Eagles can knock off first place Washington 6-9, who has the head to head tiebreaker over Dallas. This has been a very challenging season, about time they are winning at the right time.
