Despite his wishes, the Cowboys need to rest Ezekiel Elliott in Week 18

With their Week 17 loss to their Arizona Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys aren’t left with much to play for in their season finale this Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles. For the Cowboys not to enter the NFC playoffs as the No. 4 seed, they would need losses by the Rams and Cardinals combined with a Cowboys and Buccaneers win, or all three teams to lose and Dallas to win. So yeah, pretty much not happening.

Despite being virtually locked into the 4 seed, Mike McCarthy came out on Monday and stated that he will not be resting his starters in Philadelphia on Saturday night.
