Cowboys won't limit NFL's leading rusher Ezekiel Elliott
  • 7 years ago
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones isn't concerned with his rookie running back's workload, even though star-in-the-making Ezekiel Elliott leads the NFL in rushing yards and attempts with 243 carries for 1,199 yards. "The more we can give Ezekiel the ball the better. We're winning with that. We're winning by wearing them down on defense. The Cowboys have won 10 straight games, in large part due to Elliott's ability to run the ball, after dropping their season opener against the rival Giants. Elliott welcomes the heavy workload after carrying the ball 20 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns in a win over Washington on Thanksgiving. "By game time I felt great, I feel fresh, I don't feel the soreness anymore. This game wasn't nearly as physical as the last one we played, so I think it was fine."
