Last Thursday in the season opener for the entire National Football League, Ezekiel Elliott came into the game against Tampa Bay in the best shape of his career as he prepared to show doubters and even his own fan base that he was not washed up.
“I’m definitely hungry,” Elliott said.
The Dallas Cowboys did not feed Zeke very much in last week’s 31-29 loss at Tampa Bay as Elliott got just 11 carries for 33 yards.
For the people that had a lot to say about his performance, Elliott challenged them on their football IQ.
“If you know football, if you’re in this building, you can tell someone had a solid game without having the best statistics,” Zeke said. “If you don’t understand that, you should probably study football a little more.”
“My job is to do my job to the best of its ability,” Elliott said. “I take a lot of pride to being well-rounded. Blitz pickup is big for a running back. You have to have keep that quarterback safe and untouched.”
Dak Prescott, who was sacked just once all night long, threw for 403 yards and three touchdowns with one interception on 58 passing attempts.
