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.
“I am very lucky to have these two cats,” running backs coach Skip Peete said. “They both understand that they both have qualities. One guy is truly a hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer. Tony’s more of a slasher.”
It was the first time in 102 career games, playoffs included, that an active Elliott didn’t start. The 27-year-old has missed just three games in his career due to injury, two this season with a knee issue. 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.
“From that point, just the way he picked up the playbook so fast,” quarterback Dak Prescott said. “Just his personality, his hunger to get better, a guy that does everything the right way. I’ve known TP can do what he’s doing for a long time.”
