Ezekiel Elliott runs for 200+ yards

Dallas Cowboys’ running back Ezekiel Elliott is leading the NFL in rushing yards and carries. The Cowboys depend on him to get the offense going. With all the usage of the young man, Jerry Jones said the ‘Boys will not cut his carries short.

Dallas will feed the rookie running back time and time again, and the Vikings have struggled against the run game this season. Expect some early success for Elliott and, as they keep feeding him, some huge runs break loose.

The Vikings will keep the passing game in check, which is normal for this defense, but the running game will let loose on the Vikings core.

Again, the game will come down to running the football and clock management. The Cowboys will have a huge step ahead with a huge day from Elliott.
