Up next for worn-out Seahawks run defense? A ‘fresh’ NFL rushing champion | The News Tribune

Reigning NFL rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott is back.

The Dallas Cowboys’ star running back spent much of his delayed six-week suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy on a half-vacation, half-work mission in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, preparing for his late season return.

He is back to buoy the Cowboys’ fleeting NFC playoff chances. And he could just finish off the Seahawks’ playoff hopes as well.

Each team is 8-6. A loss takes the loser out of the running for a wild-card spot.
