Ezekiel Elliott was named the NFC offensive player of the week following an incredible effort on the ground, and through the air, against Pittsburgh. The Cowboys rookie scored three touchdowns, including a 32-yard scamper through the defense with nine seconds left to play in the game to help them score their eighth straight win. Elliott ran 21 times for 114 yards — making him the third player in history with 1,000 rushing yards in his first nine games — and caught two passes for 95 yards.
