Ezekiel Elliott has a court date this week to determine his future after today. First things first, though, he played a part in the first 10 points in Sunday’s game in Washington.
Elliott fumbled on a hit by defensive end Matt Ioannidis on the first play from scrimmage. Josh Norman recovered for Washington.
Washington gained 9 yards to the Dallas 20, where on fourth and one, Nick Rose kicked a 38-yard field goal.
Elliott, though, made up for his turnover, with two carries for 21 yards on the next possession, including a 13-yard touchdown run and 7-3 lead.
Dak Prescott began 3-for-3 for 59 yards, with Terrance Williams catching one for 25, Geoff Swaim one for 18 and Jason Witten one for 16.
Washington, though, answered with Rob Kelley’s 1-yard touchdown run. It was a seven-play, 75-yard drive, with Jamison Crowder catching a 41-yard pass from Kirk Cousins and Cowboys linebacker Damien Wilson getting a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty. Wilson likely will earn a fine for a shot to Cousins’ head.
