The Cowboys offense is rolling now.
Deep into the second quarter, Dallas has extended their lead over a dysfunctional Washington club to 20-3 after running back Ezekiel Elliott scored his second touchdown of the game, this one on the ground.
Elliott took the handoff and then followed a cleat-cleaning block by pulling left guard Joe Looney, who wiped out rookie linebacker Cole Holcomb. Elliott shot through the hole then broke a tackle of his own on the way to a 33-yard scamper.

The score was Elliott’s second of the day and 12th on the ground for the season. He leads the club with 14 total touchdowns on the season in his first campaign to play in all 16 contests.
