Ezekiel Elliott didn’t take long to answer when asked the last time he was held to single-digit rushing yards in a game.

“Never,” Elliott said.

Until Sunday afternoon.

The Denver Broncos’ defense made the league’s reigning rushing champion irrelevant in a 42-17 rout of the Cowboys at Mile High.

Elliott rushed for fewer yards than carries (eight yards on nine carries) on a forgettable night. Elliott and the Cowboys’ talented offensive line looked nothing like the rushing attack the organization has come to expect.

Elliott’s nine carries went for 0, 3, 2, 0, -5, 0, 2, 1 and 5 yards.
