Following the Cowboys’ 23–16 win over the Giants on Monday Night Football, Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott tweeted a short and simple message of praise for quarterback Cooper Rush.
While posting about his quarterback, Elliott revealed the nickname he uses for Rush: “Cooper Clutch.”
Rush did come up clutch on Monday night as he lifted Dallas to a winning record (2–1) and handed his briefly former team, the Giants, their first loss of the season.
Elliott scored one touchdown in the game, allowing the Cowboys to tie the Giants at 13 late in the third quarter.
