Elliott gained 159 yards and found the end zone on 23 carries in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Buccaneers. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 29 yards.
Elliott had topped 100 rushing yards twice in the last seven games, but he was able to set a new career high in yardage in a game the Cowboys needed to win and commemorated his second-quarter touchdown run with a memorable leap into an oversized Salvation Army donation bucket. Elliott now sits 258 yards shy of Eric Dickerson's rookie rushing record with two games to go, a mark that has stood for 33 years. He also got involved in the passing game after failing to do so last week, and he appears to be all systems go for next week's matchup with the Lions.
