ST: Ezekiel Elliott is on the verge of a 31-year-old NFL record

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is barely into his second season in the NFL but he’s only one decent game from breaking an NFL record that has stood for 31 years.

With 80 yards rushing Sunday against the Broncos in Denver, Elliott will break Marcus Allen’s record of 15 consecutive games with at least 80 yards rushing, according to 247Sports.com.

Allen’s record stretched from the final 13 weeks of the 1985 season, in which he rushed for 100 or more yards in 11 games and into the first two weeks of the 1986 season. He rushed for over a 100 yards in both of those games but didn’t have another 100-yard game the rest of ’86.

Elliott rushed for 51 yards in his first-career NFL game last season and then rushed for more than 80 yards in each of the next 15 regular-season games, including seven 100-yard games to finish with a league-leading 1,631 yards.

Thanks for posting. Go Cowboys

And to think I had to listen to some melvin on a fantasy football segment on NFLN today say that Zeke hit a rookie wall last year.

 

[Teague31]

Only Goddell and his clowns can slow down Zeke

 

[lkelly]

Oh yeah, the holiest of all holy records, the 80 yard consecutive streak. They will certainly interrupt all other sporting events and possibly even the President's afternoon constitutional to cut away to live shots of Mile High. We can only hope that Zeke gets a first down on the decisive carry so that he can do the feed me thing.

What will be sad is that they will have blown through all the local confetti after Dak intentionally spikes his first two passes to set the 500 attempt low interception record. We can rest assured that Jason Garrett won't run out of claps.

I know I'll always remember where I was when it happened.

You are welcome not to watch so we don't have to hear this from you over and over.

That can't be real. He led the NFL in rushing.

BBWhhhaaaa!
Hilarious is an understatement!
( what,exactly is yer' secret? to pull off this coy level of distain and abject expression,,, cuz' it damn sure can't be true FANDOM that's birthed this remark),,,,

 

[Aven8]

Well it looks like Marcus you're in 2nd place now.....

 

[BigD]

Eat.

 

[ZekeandDestroy]

Done

It's real. I even rewinded to make sure I heard it correctly.

Hopefully Zeke can finish strong this year. For a change.

 

[jobberone]

Dak's record is just as huge. But I'm particularly fond of the idea of breaking 80 so many games in a row. Esp in light of today's passing game. Both are a big deal.

 

[Zekeats]

Elliott rushed for 51 yards in his first-career NFL game last season and then rushed for more than 80 yards in each of the next 15 regular-season games, including seven 100-yard games to finish with a league-leading 1,631 yards.

Error here. He didn't play final game of the season so it was 14 games last season and the one game against the giants which equals 15 in a row. Lazy and uniformed like most sports writers. Writer doesn't even noticed that they contradicted themselves in their own story.

You must be a riot at parties.... Since you're so much "above" all this, why don't you go ahead and list your life achievements for us so we'll know what's really important.
