FRISCO - In the final minute of the Sunday night game pitting the Dallas Cowboysand Minnesota Vikings, an a sortment Ceedee Lamb Hoodies Sweatshirts of the visiting team's stars - and non-stars - and Terence Steele at tackle, for instance? Non-stars who contributed to the win. Amari Cooper with two gigantic catches down the stretch, including the game-winning TD from five yards, for instance? He's the cover guy here.But in a manner that wasn't at all subtle and therefore deserves notice, there was Ezekiel Elliott,still being criticized for some because his overall stats weren't huge ... ignoring that he made one play so huge, so special, that he's listed it as one of "my top five plays'' he's ever made in his career.Just the moment,'' Zeke said of why he feels that way. "I couldve been tackled there, and then we Trevon Diggs T Shirts kick the field goal and go to overtime."But,'' he said with his trademark laugh, "who wants to go to overtime? No one is trying to play any extra plays, especially on Sunday night.And so they didn't play extra plays. They simply let Zeke dominate on one play.The Cowboys admit that they had a mindset, at one point in the final drive, when they figured it might have to be a field goal Emmitt Smith T Shirts as the payoff, a kick to tie it at 16-all and sent the game to OT. After all, it was third-and-11, with 64 seconds left, near the red zone. Avoid risk? Nothing wrong with that. Settle? Logical.But Elliott wasnt settling.After catching a short pa s from Rush - again, designed for safety by the coaching staff - Elliott turned upfield, split through two Vikings defenders and then bounced off two more would-be tacklers to pick up a first down before he was finally taken down at the 5-yard line.Scroll to ContinueOn the following play came the Rush lob to Cooper to Alfred Morris Jersey give the Cowboys the lead. .. and a 6-1 record.There are still analysts who don't understand the work Elliott put in this offseason to shed 10 pounds, to remake his body, to recapture the elusivene s that the 26-year-old had earlier in his career ... while, now at 218 pounds, still serving as a punishing runner.Elliott was both of those things on this play, elusive and punishing.Elliott enters Week 9 of the 2021 season with 571 rushing yards, 128 receiving yards and six total touchdowns, and to critics, that somehow isn't enough. But to theCowboys, who know they can still ride Elliott, and might do that this Sunday when ?They know he' Bob Lilly T Shirts s got more "top-five plays'' in him.
