FRISCO, Texas -- Coming out of the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter last Sunday, Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore knew one more first down would win the game against the Carolina Panthers.
So, naturally he lined Ezekiel Elliott up as a fullback with Tony Pollard as the tailback.
Panthers defenders crashed toward Elliott as he took the Dak Prescott handoff to his right and pitched the ball to Pollard on the option, leading to a 5-yard gain. The Cowboys had their first down and their third straight win.
