Jaylon Smith Signs With Pittsburgh Steelers: Dallas Cowboys NFL Tracker
Smith, who overcame a devastating injury from his final game at Notre Dame to forge a successful career in Dallas, will open on the Steelers practice squad.
DEC 25 ZEKE LEAP The New England Patriots on Christmas Eve benefitted from a trademark Ezekiel Elliott move in what became a big comeback win over the Denver Broncos.
That move? Cowboys fans know it … it’s that “hurdle” that he did so often in a Dallas uniform … and it helped him get to the goal line in this game.
Elliott took a backfield pass from Bailey Zappe during the third quarter and headed toward the end zone. … but then encountered a defender …
And Elliott hurdled over him and then made the dive toward paydirt.
The Patriots moved to 4-11 with the win. They are going nowhere except the NFL Draft. But “Vintage Zeke” was a fun moment.
DEC 24 DRIVE RUINED Dallas opened Sunday NFL Week 16 in a textbook manner, with a lengthy, clutch and impressive drive … until the goal line was approached, at which time rookie fullback Hunter Luepke appeared to bull his way into the end zone for a game-opening score.
Except Luepke didn’t have the ball.
The Cowboys fumbled the handoff exchange between Luepke and QB Dak Prescott, ruining a truly ideal way to start … and spoiling the team’s openly-stated “start fast” desire.
