Ezekiel Elliot scored the first touchdown for the Dallas Cowboys, against the New York Giants at the AT&T Stadium. The two sides locked horns Thursday on Thanksgiving day.
While Elliot, popularly known as Zeke, continued his touchdown run from last week, several Tony Pollard fantasy owners was furious.
Pollard was Dallas’ hero in their 40-3 win over Minnesota. The running back rushed 15 times for 80 yards, adding six catches for 109 additional yards and two touchdowns.
However, against New York on Thursday, Pollard’s snap count was two after the first two drives. Elliot had nine out of 11 plays.
