This victory was extra meaningful for Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot, who is closing in on Cowboys’ history and put a bad drought to bed.</p><p>“Ezekiel Elliott with the 1-yard TD run ups Dallas’ lead to 20-7 with 1:45 left in the half. It’s Elliott’s third rushing TD of the season and 71st of his career. Only <a href="https://x.com/toddarcher/status/1871023261259088038" rel="noopener">Tony Dorsett (72) and Emmitt Smith (153)</a> have had more in Cowboys’ history,” Todd Archer of ESPN reported.</p><p>In addition to bringing him within a touchdown from overtaking Dorsett for the No. 2 spot on the Cowboys’ all-time rushing touchdowns list, Elliot’s one-yard scoring run ended his AT&amp;T Stadium touchdown drought that extended back to the 2022 season.</p><p>Elliot <a href="https://x.com/statmusefb/status/1871023572329881799" rel="noopener">had not scored at home</a> since December 2022, according to StatMuse. That touchdown came in the first quarter of Dallas’ 40-34 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Eve.</p><p>The Cowboys have not had a 2024 campaign to write home about as they sit at 7-8, third place in the NFC East, only beating out the 2-13 New York Giants, and eliminated from playoff contention. Despite this, Elliot’s Week 16 success could provide him with motivation to finish the season strong.</p><h2><b>Cowboys playing hard to salvage Mike McCarthy’s job</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Ezekiel-Elliott.jpg"><figcaption>Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Despite their 2024 season not having the outcome expected of them, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-jerry-jones-immediate-reaction-mike-mccarthy-performance-week-16-win">Cowboys do not appear interested in going out quietly</a>.</p><p>After a 3-7 start to the season, Dallas has won four of its last five contests, including two wins over playoff contenders Washington Commanders and the Buccaneers.</p><p>Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has often been under scrutiny throughout his tenure at the helm of the franchise, but he does not appear to have lost the locker room, as his team is still putting its best foot forward each week.</p><p>The Cowboys’ final two games of the season put them up against the Eagles and Commanders. Winning both games would give Dallas a 9-8 record to end the season as well as shake things up in the NFC standings as the regular season comes to an end.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is a two time All-Pro selection and three-time Pro Bowl player. Given Elliott’s accomplishments in the NFL, have you ever wondered what kind of cars he drives? Well, wonder no more. Here is Ezekiel Elliott’s incredible $801K car collection, with photos.</p><p>According to online outlets, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ezekiel-elliott-net-worth">Elliott has a net worth</a> of around $35 million. With plenty of cash at his disposal, it isn’t surprising to see the Cowboys player <a href="https://vipfortunes.com/car-collections/check-out-nfl-star-ezekiel-elliott-s-expensive-car-collection" rel="noopener">splurge on some nice rides</a>.</p><h2><b>5.

Although it’s the cheapest car in his garage, the Corvette Z06 isn’t cheap by any means. In fact, it’s considered to be one of the most powerful sports cars in the market today.</p><p>Boasting of sleek and sporty features, Elliott should have no problems cruising around the city with style. Furthermore, the Corvette Z06 was simply designed to dominate the streets with its elite performance.</p><p>The Corvette Z06 operates on a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 powertrain. This allows it to produce 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Moreover, with a seven-speed manual transmission, this sports car can speed up to 197 mph. On the other hand, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds.</p><h2><b>4. Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2021_dodge_durango-srt-hellcat-awd_img_2432-1-09525.webp"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2021_dodge_durango-srt-hellcat-awd_img_2399-09884.webp?w=620"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2021_dodge_durango-srt-hellcat-awd_img_2396-06738.webp?w=939"></figure><p><a href="https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2021-dodge-durango-srt-hellcat-awd-27/" rel="noopener">For more photos, click here</a></p><p>Another solid car in Elliott’s collection is the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. For this bad boy on wheels, the former First Team All-Pro selection shelled out around $80,995. It’s safe to say that the Durango SRT Hellcat is one of the highlights of Elliott’s garage.</p><p>In terms of features, the Durango SRT Hellcat may possess size. However, it doesn’t take away the vehicle’s acceleration abilities, which is the Durango SRT Hellcat’s main attraction. With plenty of size, cargo space and leg room shouldn’t be a problem.</p><p>The Durango SRT Hellcat is built with a 6.2-liter Supercharged Hellcat V8 powertrain. This allows it to produce 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. Furthermore, the Durango SRT Hellcat can go as fast as 180 mph with the help of an eight-speed automatic transmission. In addition to this, it has no problems going from a standstill to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.</p><h2><b>3. GMC Yukon</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2022-GMC-Yukon-Denali-XL-front-cabin-carprousa.webp"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2022-GMC-Yukon-Denali-XL-profile-2-carprousa.webp?w=600"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2022-GMC-Yukon-Denali-XL-feature-carprousa.webp?w=1020"></figure><p><a href="https://www.carpro.com/vehicle-reviews/2022-gmc-yukon-denali-xl-review">For more photos, click here</a></p><p>The second SUV in Elliott’s car collection is a GMC Yukon, which retails for around $81,000. While the Yukon is a respectable full-sized SUV, it does hold some forgettable memories for Elliott.</p><p>While driving the Yukon, Elliott ran a red light leading to a car accident while running late. The incident forced the two-time NFL rushing yards leader to cough up $33,000 in damages and injuries to an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-ezekiel-elliott-sued-1m-for-role-in-car-crash">owner of the BMW after the latter filed a lawsuit</a>.</p><p>Nonetheless, the GMC Yukon is a full-sized SUV, making the roomy interior its main highlight. However, given that Elliott faced a huge controversy with this car, it’s safe to say that it’s not one of his favorites.</p><p>The Yukon gets its power from a 6.2-liter V8 engine. This allows it to produce 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. With a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Yukon can attain a top speed of 112 mph. In terms of acceleration, this full-sized SUV can move from 0 to 60 mph with ease in just over six seconds.</p><h2><b>2.

For this icon of luxury, Elliott had to pay around $231,825.</p><p>While showcasing the highlights of a Bentley, the Bentayga surely performs well on the road while providing the best comfort. The Bentayga is easily one of the priciest SUVs in the market today, given how it was meticulously designed to near perfection.</p><p>Equipped with a 4.0L Twin-Turbocharged W12 engine, the luxurious SUV has 600 horsepower and 568 lb-ft torque. With an eight-speed automatic transmission, the SUV can reach a top speed of 190 mph. It can also accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.</p><p>When it comes to city driving and bringing along some friends or family, the Bentayga is surely hard to beat in terms of design and performance.</p><h2><b>1.

To have the keys to this elite SUV, the two-time All-Pro player paid around $327,000.</p><p>At $327,000, the Cullinan is easily the most expensive car in his garage. The Cullinan is powered by a 6.75L twin-turbocharged V12 engine, allowing it to have 563 horsepower and 627 lb-ft torque.

Ezekiel Elliott wasn’t one of them. The former lead rusher for the Cowboys <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-ezekiel-elliott-inactive-week-9-disciplinary-reasons">Elliott earned the inactive label against the Falcons</a>.</p><p>Many across the league wondered about Elliott’s status moving forward. McCarthy cleared the air behind the veteran running back’s benching on Monday with the media. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-news-ezekiel-elliott-inactive-week-9-disciplinary-reasons">Elliott first sat due to “disciplinary reasons.”</a> But McCarthy also shared what Elliott’s <a href="https://x.com/toddarcher/status/1853547992797831295" rel="noopener">role will be</a> when Dallas faces the Philadelphia Eagles, via Todd Archer of ESPN.</p><p>“Mike McCarthy said Ezekiel Elliott will be available this week, but he has yet to sit down with the running back since having a meeting last Friday,” Archer wrote.</p><p>The Cowboys RB was ruled a healthy scratch by the team. Elliott, however, <a href="https://x.com/SlaterNFL/status/1853070286587040098" rel="noopener">missed up to three team meetings </a>according to NFL Network Cowboys reporter Jane Slater.</p><p>Elliott watched Dallas fall 27-21 to the NFC South leaders at the Mercedes Benz Dome. Sunday marked the first time Elliott missed a game in his career due to a disciplinary reason.</p><h2><b>Ezekiel Elliott losing ground in Cowboys backfield</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Ezekiel-Elliott-leads-Dallas-out-of-the-locker-room-.jpg"><figcaption>Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Even despite his past dominance, Elliott faced a tough road to reclaiming the starting role.</p><p>He’s losing ground even more. Elliott is on pace to deliver new career lows. Dallas has seldom used the two-time leading rusher from the 2016 and 2018 seasons, tallying only 48 carries for 149 yards and two touchdowns.</p><p>Elliott managed 184 carries for 642 yards and scored three times in his lone New England Patriots campaign in 2023. The fan favorite for Dallas walked into a young but questionable backfield after re-signing.</p><p>The Cowboys may have their new RB1 for the rest of 2024. Dallas handed the ball off to Rico Dowdle the most on Sunday.</p><p>Dowdle took 12 carries and racked up 75 yards, averaging 6.2 yards per carry. He added five receptions for 32 yards and caught a three-yard touchdown pass. Dowdle even tied franchise legend Emmitt Smith by <a href="https://x.com/DallasCowboysPR/status/1853153480011129317" rel="noopener">scoring three touchdown receptions</a> in eight games this season.</p><p>The RB who’s three years younger than Elliott leads the way with 321 rushing yards. However, Dowdle is yet to cross the end zone through handoffs.</p><p>Meanwhile, Dallas mixed in Dalvin Cook against Atlanta. The four-time Pro Bowled settled for only two carries and netted eight yards. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb ended up handling a couple of carries too — racking up only 15 yards on designed WR end around plays.</p><p>McCarthy set off the signal that Elliott is on his way back to the huddle. The Sunday foe Philadelphia earned <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-eagles-win-jaguars-doesnt-prove-win-nfc-east">a rather ugly 28-23 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars</a>. Elliott has enjoyed past success against the Eagles, boasting a 9-4 career record against the NFC East rival.</p><p>However, Elliott is likely heading toward a non-starter role. His Cowboys are also riding a three-game losing streak before taking on the 6-2 Eagles.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The news was first reported on Nov. 2 shortly after it was made public that Dalvin Cook would be activated from the practice squad to dress for the game. However, the reason for Elliott’s one-week punishment was not revealed until game day.</p><p>The team reported that Elliott has been “distracted” all year, leading to a number of <a href="https://x.com/SlaterNFL/status/1853070286587040098" rel="noopener">late showings and missed meetings</a>, per NFL Network’s Jane Slater. Elliott missed the team’s meeting on Friday, leading to the team deciding to restrict him from traveling to Atlanta.</p><p>Head coach Mike McCarthy has not spoken on the matter before the game. Elliott started in Week 8 with Rico Dowdle out with an illness but was ineffective, running for just 34 yards on 10 carries. Dowdle will return to the starting lineup against the Falcons with Cook listed as his backup on the depth chart and Deuce Vaughn as the third string.</p><p>Overall, Elliott’s return to Dallas in 2024 has been nothing short of a letdown. At 29, nobody expected him to perform as he did in his prime but Elliott is averaging just 3.1 yards per carry on the year with just two touchdowns.</p><h2><b>Cowboys look to snap losing streak in Week 9</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMAGN-01.jpg"><figcaption>Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Without Elliott in the lineup, the Cowboys will need to attempt to snap their two-game losing streak on the road in Atlanta. With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cowboys-most-blame-week-6-loss-lions">losses to the Detroit Lions</a> and San Francisco 49ers surrounding their bye week, Dallas has not won a game since beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5.</p><p>For as much as the Cowboys have struggled on the year, the Falcons have had an equal amount of success. Atlanta leads the NFC South through eight weeks with a 5-3 record and have seemingly hit their stride on offense led by veteran Kirk Cousins.</p><p>Having allowed over 30 points in consecutive outings, Dallas’ defense will be tasked with attempting to stop the Atlanta offense that has eclipsed 30 in three of its last four games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But obviously 3-4, as I’ve said, lot of season left, but the first start to be able to say that confidently is getting back even, especially having a couple of home ones after that.”</p><p>Micah Parsons (ankle), Jordan Phillips (wrist) and DaRon Bland (foot) are all out for Week 9. Diggs (calf), Linval Joseph (back), Eric Kendricks (shoulder), Zack Martin (shoulder) and Nick Vigil (foot) are questionable for Week 9.</p><p>The Cowboys travel to Atlanta to play the Falcons on Sunday, November 3, at 1:00 p.m. EST.</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
