Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys

26 Rushes, 147 Yards, 2 Touchdown

1 Reception, 72 Yards, 3 Targets, 1 Touchdown

Performance Score: 100

Perhaps Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had a little extra motivation this week following the temporary overturning of his six-game suspension, because he was unbelievable on Sunday. He posted 219 total yards and 3 touchdowns as the Cowboys rolled the winless San Francisco 49ers 40-10.

Elliott rushed for 147 yards and took his only reception 72 yards to the house, notching a perfect 100 Performance Score to lead all running backs on Sunday. His outstanding burst was on full display on a third-quarter screen pass, as he went nearly untouched down the sideline for the score.

While concerns still remain about whether or not the young running back will play a full slate of games for the Cowboys, what is very clear is that he is one of the most talented running backs in the game running behind one of the most talented offensive lines in the game.

This was Elliott's second straight 100-yard rushing game and he now has 746 yards and 6 touchdowns through six games.
