Dallas boasts the NFL’s top-ranked rushing offense, while Baltimore boasts the league’s No. 1 rushing defense. That makes Sunday’s matchup at JerryWorld — aka AT&T Stadium — a classic matchup, and two of the headline performers are products of St. Louis high school football.
Everyone knows about Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott, the Alton native who played his high school ball at John Burroughs before starring in college at Ohio State. With considerable help from fellow rookie sensation Dak Prescott at quarterback, Elliott is taking the league by storm. He leads the NFL with 1,005 yards rushing, and the Cowboys (8-1) are averaging a league-best 161 yards rushing per game and are tied for the league lead in rushing TDs with 16.
