Ezekiel Elliott gave positive results for Covid-19 over the summer, has the worst numbers in his career as the Dallas Cowboys sank to the bottom of the NFC East and missed a game for the first time through injury.
The running back Dallas star has been in the mood all season, at least in virtual conferences with reporters. The second game over 100 yards of the season helped keep the Cowboys’ hopes of coming to life in the postseason before last week.
I told? Maybe, but Elliott doesn’t really care that this wouldn’t have happened if Dallas weren’t in the worst division in the NFL, which will have a team that loses in the playoffs.
“A win is a win, no matter how you get there,” Elliott said. “So if we win the division at 7-9, it’s like winning 14-2. You go into the playoffs 0-0.”
The winner of the game between the Cowboys (6-9) and the Giants (5-10) in Sunday’s game at the start of the game could win the division if Washington (6-9) loses at home to Philadelphia in the first half. Washington advances with a victory.
