In the third quarter, Robinson was flagged for unnecessary roughness when he picked Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott up on a run up the middle and body-slammed him to the turf.

Elliott’s Ohio State Buckeyes beat Robinson’s Alabama Crimson Tide, 42-35, in the Sugar Bowl in 2015 to advance to the national title game, which Ohio State won as well. Elliott had 230 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Robinson and Alabama, and had 12 carries for 80 yards and two more touchdowns in their first NFL match-up.
