On a day when the Dallas Cowboys received news of Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension (again), four of the team’s players went and saved the day with a heartwarming episode near their homes.

Alfred Morris, Cole Beasley, Ryan Switzer, and Joe Looney all got dressed up for Halloween on Tuesday night and took their families out for a memorable night of trick-or-treating.

Beasley, the most front-facing player of the group, took things all the way back to 2004 with a re-creation of Pixar’s The Incredibles, doing so with the help of his wife, Krystin, and their two boys.

As for Morris, he traded in his №46 jersey for Mr. Potato Head on Halloween. His wife, Tiffany, matched her husband with Mrs. Potato Head, and their children put the finishing touches on the Toy Story foursome with Woody and Buzz Lightyear, respectively.

Rounding out the Cowboys’ trick-or-treating group was Looney, the team’s back-up center, and Switzer, the team’s featured return-man. Looney teamed up with his wife and kids to create the scariest duds of the night — Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” — while Switzer and his new fiance, Gabie Dinsbeer, sported the most comical costumes in the group.

Besides the fact that it’s refreshing to see players hang out off the field, it’s nice that professional athletes can have clean fun instead of hitting the party scene. Switzer, for example, is fresh out of college but showed a lot of maturity by choosing to hang with older guys and their children.

Lastly, almost everyone in the collective posted something on social media to acknowledge the event. The one that sticks out, though, is a video from Beasley that makes you hopeful about his on-field status moving forward. After all, he left their most recent game with a concussion and never made a return.

Stuff like this is what brings a team and a fanbase closer together — even if it’s only a fraction of the roster. Often times we only see the crumby side of athletes off the field, yet moments like these remind us just how relatable we all are.
