Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott Says Amari Cooper Is 'Truly Special' After Eagles Win

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott seemed quite pleased to have another game-changing offensive playmaker on his team following Sunday's 29-23 overtime victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

"I didn't know we were going to get all that, honestly," Elliott said when asked about the trade with the Oakland Raiders that brought Cooper to Dallas, per Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. "But when I finally saw him in person...that's when I really realized he's truly special. You guys saw that today. He took over that game."

Cooper was unstoppable during the win, finishing with 10 catches for 217 yards and three touchdowns.
