ARLINGTON -- Ezekiel Elliott was body-slammed by Detroit defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson in the third quarter Monday night.

Robinson was flagged 15 yards for unnecessary roughness.

Elliott's thought?

"He was being dirty all game long," the Cowboys running back responded. "I think he's just a little bit salty from that Sugar Bowl win we got against them in New Orleans two years ago. It's whatever. Let him do what he wants to do."

Elliott's Ohio State Buckeyes defeated Robinson's Alabama Crimson Tide 42-35 in the 2015 Sugar Bowl. Elliott had 230 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries that night. He had 80 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries Monday night.
