Jerry: Salvation Army should give Elliott award

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Ezekiel Elliott won't soon forget his franchise-record setting 13th rushing touchdown of his rookie season.

Neither will anybody else given how much it will be replayed in the future.

The Dallas Cowboys running back celebrated by jumping into one of the oversized Salvation Army red kettles in the end zone during the Cowboys' 26-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, quickly hiding from everybody before popping out.

After conferring, the officials threw a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct, so Elliott couldn't hide that much.

Elliott broke Tony Dorsett's team record for most touchdown runs by a rookie in Dallas history with the 2-yard run on third-and-goal that gave the Cowboys a 10-3 lead in the second quarter.
