In an interview with TMZ Sports this week, retired running back great Eric Dickerson said that he recently spoke to Elliott, who offered him a bold bet for his scheduled first game back against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16.
“He said he’s going to get 200 yards in his return. I told him no,” said Dickerson. “The bet is — if he gets 200 yards, I have to give him one of my jerseys. It’s going to be one of my special ones I played in. If he doesn’t get 200 yards he has to give me one of his jerseys.”
The deck seems to be stacked against Elliott. His single game career-high in rushing yards so far is 159, and the Seattle front seven is still fearsome, despite injuries to several key members of their secondary this season. Still, don’t underestimate Elliott’s desire for revenge post-suspension a la Tom Brady.
