Ohio State Football: Bosa brothers headline Buckeyes in NFL week 7
Ezekiel Elliott | 22 Carries, 111 Yards, 1 TD, 6 Catches, 37 Yards
Alright enough with all of that defense. Let’s get to the guys that made a difference on the offensive side of the ball.
If you are talking about former Buckeyes and offense in the same sentence, the first name that probably pops into your head is Ezekiel Elliot. And he definitely did not disappoint on Sunday night.
Zeke was able to amass 111 yards on 22 carries for a touchdown. He was also a factor in the passing game as well as he had six catches for 37 yards.
He was a thorn in the side of the Eagles all night long in a must-win type of game for the Cowboys inside the non-competitive NFC East. He kept moving the chains all night, allowing for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ offense to get in the rhythm they were lacking in the loss to the Jets.
This marks Zeke’s fourth straight game with a rushing touchdown and his second straight 100-yard rushing output as he really looks to be getting back into the swing of things after a drama-filled offseason.
Seven games into the season, he looks to be back right where he belongs as far as rushing statistics go. He’s fifth in the league with 602 yards rushing, just over 100 yards fewer than the current leader Dalvin Cook.
Zeke and the Cowboys will get a break next week after taking the lead in the division this past week.
Now on to the offensive star in New Orleans.
