Cowboys
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott explained that RB Ezekiel Elliott enables the team’s offense to “open up” for the passing game.
“It does everything [having Elliott],” Prescott said, via ProFootballTalk. “It allows the game to open up. When you can run the ball successfully, all it does is open up the passing game, opens up the play-action game. It allows you to be dominant in the second half and in the fourth quarter when you need to be and run out the time. So we’ve got a great group of guys and our running backs are not short of that.”
Eagles
