Buccaneers: How to Stop Ezekiel Elliott on Sunday Night
Make Dak Win the Game
The Bucs are one of the hottest teams in football right now and with that comes added pressure. Pressure makes diamonds however so the Bucs need to stay focused if they want to keep winning. The Bucs are going against one of the top three teams in the NFL this week and they are a top team for a reason. They don’t turn the ball over and they run the ball more than anyone else. The main reason they are so good is the best offensive line in football.
Having a stud rookie in Ezekiel Elliott running behind them doesn’t hurt either. The best way to stop Elliott is to let him do his thing and force Dak to beat you. The Giants gave the NFL world the blueprint for beating the Cowboys and Dak proved that he can’t handle pressure well. Elliot was held out of the end zone but he still had his 100 yards. Dak was 17/37 for 165, one touchdown, two picks, and was sacked three times in the loss to the Giants. No one has been able to stop Zeke, the NFL leading rusher, this season and Dak touches the ball every single snap, stop him you can stop the Cowboys.
