Zeke Silences the Steel City! (Cowboys vs. Steelers 2016, Week 10)

[@Riles3152]

Rookie Zeke Elliott looked like he was on an all-time great RB trajectory. Most great running backs really do have short primes let alone careers.

[@lendamurrell8851]

Dynamic duo😂😂😂

[@jake.p13]

people don’t understand the amount of workload he was taking his first 4 yrs. he had the most carries all that time. his body took a beating and sometimes it effects people different. even the GOAT Emmitt Smith said the same thing look up his interview. his body just couldnt return to form and its okay. he’ll always be remembered as a great

[@macadelic2492]

He should be a hall of famer

[@Mekhami]

it wasn't even a short prime for him. for 6 years he was top 2 or 3, and most of those he was top 1 undisputed. on top of being the single best blocking back in the league, and a very prolific receiving threat, he had a legitimately hall of fame worthy career.

[@Riles3152]

@@macadelic2492 Me personally, I don’t think he did enough over a longer period of time to legitimately warrant that. But then again, there’s running backs in the Hall of Fame who did Les over the same period of time and they ended up in the Hall of Fame. Earl Campbell had 3 great seasons and only played 7. Terrell Davis only played 7 seasons and only had 3 or 4 elite top RB seasons. Gale Sayers only had 1 or 2 1,000 yard seasons. So Elliot might could end up in there one day lol 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@thegorn68]

Damn, I would love for Dallas to still have that 2016 offensive line. LT--A young Tyron Smith LG-Underrated mauler Ron Leary C-A young Travis Frederick RG-Zach Martin in his young prime and RT--A crafty, savvy veteran Doug Free Their BEST offensive line since the 90's for sure.

[@boombro4705]

Wish we didn’t lose Leary when we did

[@jake.p13]

that’s because the weak link was Doug Free but everyone was in point. Romo healthy 100% with this team would’ve gotten a ring.

[@ShereeMiller]

Without this line, Zeke wouldn't have been what he was. After 2018, the OL started falling apart and has never gotten back to what it once was. No matter what RB we have, if the OL can't create holes, the RB just becomes trash.

Probably the most Cowboys thing to happen is when 2016 rolled around. This was probably the best chance the boys had to reach the super bowl considering they were extremely hot only to crash and burn and go back to the status quo of dem Boys choking in divisional round. Being a Cowboys fan is very fun. It truly is

One of the great 2 minutes of football we’ve seen in a long time. The Steelers’ D made mistakes in this one that costs them

[@LimeintheCoco]

Which mistakes. Be specific with time stamps.

[@lakewestchase]

@@LimeintheCoco2 face masks. One they didn’t call, the second one cost them the game

[@LimeintheCoco]

@lakewestchase So, if I read your comment correctly, one penalty cost them the entire game? Lol

[@lakewestchase]

@@LimeintheCoco did you not watch? They facemasked witten and it allowed Dallas to keep the timeout and run one more play,(already being in fg range) that’s when the they handed to zeke and Pittsburgh defense allowed zeke a free run to the end zone. My man up top said the Steelers d made mistakes in this one that cost them. I gave an example. Are you suggesting that the Steelers defense didn’t cost the game lol? wtf is up with u

[@LimeintheCoco]

@lakewestchase I guess I just don't like the way it sounds. Like, where do we draw the line with the semantics. Could one argue, the Steelers offense didn't score enough points to beat the Cowboys? So yes, I agree, that mistake did cost them the game. Who your team?

[@HeemTheDream32]

I remember and watching this game from beginning to end one of the best games ever

[@sdad6378]

Steelers were 0-4 in 2pt conversions. This enraged me at the time cuz it would have changed the dynamic in the final quarter. But either way Zeke had a awesome game.
