The Dallas Cowboys are rolling with the running back tandem of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard as they get set to face the hapless Houston Texans.
Dallas Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott celebrates a touchdown run during the second half of an NFL football game against the Indianapolis Colts, Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022, in Arlington, Texas. – Ezekiel Elliott is a tandem running back for the first time in his career with the Dallas Cowboys, who might have a different rushing leader for the first time since drafting him in 2016.
Bottom line: It's working better than at any time in the four years Elliott and Pollard have been together in Dallas. . Owner Jerry Jones suggested it was a mild disciplinary measure, but coach Mike McCarthy declined to confirm that. The 25-year-old Pollard easily beat Elliott to 1,000 scrimmage yards — Elliott still has 292 yards to go this season. Pollard is the first Dallas player with five touchdowns of at least 30 yards in the same season: three runs and two catches.
Elliott needs to average 65 yards per game to reach his previous career low of 979 yards from two years ago. Because of Pollard's emergence, there's a good chance Elliott will go without a 100-yard game for the first time this season.“Zeke is going to do anything he's asked to do,” five-time All-Pro right guard Zack Martin said. “I hate the idea that people think he's not a back that you can give the ball to all the time.
