The Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans are squaring off in the NFL’s latest edition of Monday Night Football. Early in the fourth quarter, Houston leads comfortably 27-10. However, it was news regarding one of Dallas’ starters that had fans buzzing.
“First Time In NFL History” Cowboys Learn Of Horrible News Amid Texans Matchup
Dallas Cowboys’ ground game has been terrible this season, which has surprised no one except Jerry Jones. Their running game enters Week 11 with just 753 yards, which is second-lowest in the NFL:
The good news is that they finally realize that Rico Dowdle is their best option. The bad news is that he’s not someone who can carry the load on his own consistently — and there’s no help whatsoever behind him.
That includes Ezekiel Elliott, who Jones re-signed this offseason. Jones stated that Elliott was still a featured back in the league, and felt confident rolling into the season with him as the No. 1 guy.
Not only was Jones speaking out of turn when he said this during the offseason, but he inexplicably continues to sing the praises of Zeke. Jones stated at one point they were “saving him” for a potential playoff run (apparently) and then delusionally said the team liked what they saw from No. 15.

We’ve seen a severe decline in a once great running back. Currently, Elliott is on pace to become the first running back to see his yards per game drop in nine straight seasons.
Here is a look at Elliot’s stats this season:
