The Cowboys had a resounding victory over the New York Giants Sunday night in the week one division rivalry matchup. Ezekiel Elliott had 24 carries and 104 rushing yards. But he wasn’t even supposed to be playing. Earlier this summer, the NFL handed down a heavy six-game suspension to Elliott following domestic abuse accusations from Elliots’s ex-girlfriend. He appealed the suspension, and it was upheld. Yet Elliot is still playing, and it looks like he is going to be eligible for the entire regular season. How did we get to this point?
Saying the situation is complex is an understatement.
