Ezekiel Elliott was on the ball on Sunday night — literally.
The Dallas Cowboys smashed the Washington Football Team 56-14 to improve to 11-4. They scored three touchdowns in the second quarter, including a 1-yard TD pass from Dak Prescott to offensive tackle Terence Steele.
The touchdown was the first of Steele’s career. He celebrated the unexpected TD by spiking the ball.

Good thing for Steele that Zeke had his head in the game. Elliott made sure to grab the ball, recognizing it was a keepsake for Steele.
After the game, Steele showed his appreciation for what Zeke did. He called the Cowboys running back the “goat” for the heads-up move.
The 🐐 for that fr !! @EzekielElliott https://t.co/obI4plChRs

All is well in Cowboys land. They have clinched the NFC East, are in the playoffs, and they had the offensive explosion many had been waiting for.
