Ezekiel Elliott Says Personal Stats Are Meaningless if Cowboys Don't Make Playoffs

Ezekiel Elliott has reached 1,000 rushing yards for the third time in four NFL seasons, but he isn't too focused on the milestone.

While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Elliott shared what's really on his mind.

"Win ball games, man. Trying to win a Super Bowl," he said. "Really don’t care about that number. Who cares if you rush for 2,000 and don't even make the playoffs?"

Elliott has 1,071 yards through 13 games this season, ranking fifth in the NFL. His personal stats combined with Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver Amari Cooper's set a new franchise record.
