How Ezekiel Elliott's record chase won't affect the Cowboys

FRISCO, Texas -- The only time the Dallas Cowboys have won eight straight games in franchise history came in 1977 when they opened up the season with eight straight wins led by a rookie running back named Tony Dorsett, who was drafted No. 2 overall.

This year's Cowboys have won seven straight games after opening the year with a loss to the New York Giants, led by a rookie running back named Ezekiel Elliott, who was drafted No. 4 overall.

I wonder if that is just a coincidence. I've got more wonders in this week's version of Five Wonders.
