Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott has insane breakaway speed and he showed that during Sunday’s 28-14 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Cowboys did a great job of utilizing Elliott in between the tackles and in the passing game, and it worked. He was the clear difference in the game, with 15 rushes for 134 yards (2 touchdowns) and three receptions for 37 yards.
He busted the game open with a 60-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Elliott really turned on the afterburners after bursting through the hole, which, by the way, the offensive line deserves a lot of credit for opening up for him.

Expect to see a lot more of that in the future from the fourth overall pick in this year’s draft.
