Cowboys icon Ezekiel Elliott might’ve just caught the break he desperately needed

With Javonte Williams leading the way, the Dallas Cowboys have their best rushing attack since Ezekiel Elliott was hurdling defenders in the open field every Sunday.

Unfortunately, Elliott's decline happened fast. He ripped off two rushing titles in his first three years to go with 28 rushing touchdowns. Between 2020-2023, though, Elliott averaged just 55.1 rushing yards per game. He conceded the RB1 job last year to Rico Dowdle before getting released by the Cowboys in December, and he's still looking for work five weeks into this season.

Assuming Elliott still wants to play, the Los Angeles Chargers' injury crisis at running back may be the break he needed.
