The million-dollar question: Why do the Cowboys insist on playing Ezekiel Elliott over Tony Pollard?

Each and every week, we will assess a different question that Cowboys Nation has on its mind. In this week’s game, similar to most of the season, a good chunk of the nation was enamored with the play of Tony Pollard, including a 57-yard house call. Pollard has become accustomed to breaking off chunk plays for this Cowboys offense.

Longest plays so far this Cowboys season: a 45-yard catch, 46-yard run and a 57-yard run. All by Tony Pollard.
