Despite what Pacman Jones thinks about his daughter being able to duplicate Elliott’s efforts, the Cowboys rookie rusher won his first Player of the Week award on Thursday.

Nominated based on his 138 yard, one touchdown performance this past Sunday, Elliott beat out the likes of Washington’s Matt Jones and Pittsburgh’s LeVeon Bell for his first ever award.

$2,000 will be given to the USO in Elliott’s name as a result of the award.

Elliott has rushed for 278 yards in the last two contests, wins over the Chicago Bears and the 49ers. Those totals put him at 412 rushing yards on the young season. He’ll work to extend those numbers this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals who are giving up 97.5 yards per game on the ground through four contests.

That’s basically the same amount Chicago has given up in the three games against opponents other than Dallas (98). The Cowboys have effectively run for 393 yards in the last two contests despite missing All-Pro left tackle Tyron Smith for both games. Dallas is also without starting guard La’el Collins (toe-IR) and could be without swing tackle Chaz Green (foot).

Smith has been limited in practice and the club hopes he’ll be able to suit up Sunday, or they could be facing a massive juggling on their elite offensive line talent.

Jones took a sublte shot at Elliott’s performance in an interview with ESPN.

“If you go back and look at some of the film, some of the holes are so wide open that my little girl could run through there,” said cornerback Adam Jones.

Of course, crediting the offensive line while throwing shade at Elliott makes little sense considering he also leads the league in yards after contact. He’s also first in the advanced metrics of Effective Yards and Success Rate. But hey, who’s counting.

Apparently Fed Ex is; maybe they should get used to having his name on their press releases.
