Ezekiel Elliott celebrates opening TD vs. Redskins with $21 donation into Salvation Army red kettle

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott opened the scoring against Washington on Thanksgiving afternoon, then celebrated the occasion as only he could.
Remember that time he deposited himself into a Salvation Army red kettle after a touchdown last season? Well, he didn't quite go that far this time.

Redskins-Cowboys takeaways: Turnovers, Amari Cooper crush Washington on Thanksgiving

Here are four takeaways from the Redskins’ 31-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday at AT&T Stadium. Too many turnovers:  It’s generally better to give than to receive, but unfortunately for Colt McCoy and the Redskins, that sentiment doesn’t apply to football games. Making his first start since 2014 in place of Alex Smith, McCoy gave a lot. The former University of Texas star, who led a stirring upset of the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in 2014, threw three interceptions against a Dallas defense that had managed four interceptions in its previous nine games.

Dallas Cowboys use Amari Cooper, turnovers to roll over Washington Redskins in NFC East

And hello to a working Cowboys offense, a defense that creates turnovers and Ezekiel Elliott in rookie form. Three touchdowns in 7 minutes and 36 seconds and three interceptions were among the highlights on an explosive Thanksgiving Day for Dallas in a 31-23 victory over Washington. A Cowboys offense so broken in the NFC East rivals’ October game appears fixed. Credit, in part, the trade for Cooper that the Cowboys pulled off a day after that loss to Washington. Read more...
