Cardinals running back Andre Ellington was unable to find the end zone Week 12 against the Colts.
Ellington split time with Rashard Mendenhall again, though he proved to be the more efficient runner. Ellington gained 50 yards on 10 carries, while Mendenhall gained 52 yards with 13 carries. Though Ellington continues to show more big-play ability, Mendenhall is the back the team turns to in the red zone. Mendenhall scored on a 5 yard touchdown in the third quarter, and would have had a second goal line touchdown if not for a holding penalty. Ellington clearly has potential, but the team doesn't see him as the primary weapon at this point. Ellington also caught two passes for 21 yards.
Ellington will take on the Eagles Week 13.
