The NFL has no plans on backing down when it comes to Ezekiel Elliott.

On Tuesday, the two sides argued their case in front of a Texas federal judge, with the Dallas Cowboys' running back seeking a temporary restraining order against the NFL citing a league-orchestrated conspiracy on the heels of Elliott's appeal hearing. The outcome of the courthouse battle is still pending with a verdict to come by close of business Friday, but it was what happened while the two sides were occupied that added more fuel to the flames.

Appeals officer Harold Henderson opted to uphold the six-game suspension against Elliott. And just when you thought Tuesday was in the books in that regard, the league attempted to one-up the NFLPA by filing suit in New York federal court -- after unsuccessfully convincing the Texas judge to relinquish jurisdiction.

They're officially asking a New York judge to uphold Henderson's ruling, despite a Texas judge pondering an injunction.

The NFL is arguing that the proper jurisdiction for the case is NY, not in Texas where Elliott's team filed the other lawsuit. https://t.co/4jzjZapLZK — Dan Werly (@WerlySportsLaw) September 6, 2017

For his part, Elliott is willing to go the distance -- which has the Supreme Court as the finish line.

There's simply no telling where this all truly ends or what the next legal move is, but there's still an injunction motion awaiting resolution in Texas -- which granted could virtually guarantee the case remains in that state. The NFL is refusing to concede to that, however, as it's been known to have a much higher success rate when the battle is in their own backyard.

Stay tuned, folks.

This is only the beginning of a legal war that could drag on for months.
