Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the team's best offensive weapon, but he understands falling into an early hole lowers the team's chances of consistently running the ball.
"I mean you can do all of that but at the end of the day if you go back and watch the film, it's poor execution on offense," Elliott said when explaining he won't ask for more carries, per Todd Archer of ESPN. "You can't run the ball if you're down by 17 points. That's what it is. We get behind, we've got to be able to throw the ball and not be able to do what we want to do.
