ARLINGTON, Texas – The Detroit Lions couldn’t stop Ezekiel Elliott from another big rushing day Sunday, and when it mattered most, they couldn’t stop him through the air, either.
Elliott ran for 152 yards on 25 carries and caught a 34-yard pass with just over a minute to play to set up the game-winning Brett Maher field goal as the Dallas Cowboys rallied for a 26-24 win over the Detroit Lions at AT&T Stadium.
Elliott had his way with the NFL’s last-ranked rushing defense, averaging 6.1 yards per carry, but after Matthew Stafford drove the Lions for a late touchdown, it was a big passing play from Dak Prescott to Elliott that sent the Lions to their third loss in four games.
