FRISCO - Ezekiel Elliott skedaddled into the end zone untouched to lift the Cowboys into the lead with less than two minutes left in last month's thriller at Pittsburgh. Tyron Smith, Dallas' slab-of-granite left tackle, made one of several key blocks as the offensive linemen shoved Steelers out of the way.
Smith made it to Elliott first to celebrate. The rookie running back turned and stuck out the ball with his right hand, offering it to Smith. Smith bear hugged Elliott instead, scooping the 225-pound back off his feet. Smith smacked Elliott on the helmet a few times, as the rest of the offensive linemen joined the happy scrum.
