FRISCO, Texas — Ezekiel Elliott has company in the Cowboys backfield.



"It's great," Elliott said. "If I'm tired, or a little banged up or something, I come out, he comes in, and he's gashing 'em."



The Dallas Cowboys 4th-year running back has something he's never had before -- a backup that can truly help carry the load. Rookie running back Tony Pollard appears to be the Robin to Zeke's batman that the Cowboys need for the long-term future of their $90 million investment.



"Just being out there, making plays, showing that I belong," Pollard said. "Just hopping in right where he left off, and having no drop off when he comes out of the game."



Pollard joined Zeke in eclipsing the century mark on Sunday, marking the first time the Cowboys have had two players rush for over 100 yards in the same game since Emmitt Smith and Chris Warren did it in 1998. And Pollard's just getting started.



"It just makes everything easier," Pollard said. "If it's something that I'm not sure of, I can just watch him do it, and just see how to do it. And if there's something that he's not sure of, and he makes a mistake, I can learn from his mistake. Just both of us getting better, as time goes on."
