Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott had 29 total touches and 160 yards from scrimmage in Thursday night's win over the Steelers. He also had one very important tackle.

As explained by Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, the Patriots praised Elliott’s hustle after an interception that, but for Elliott, would have likely been a touchdown that could have cut the score to 21-18.
