Where was Pollard the second half?

He was the lone offensive bright spot in the first half, and the only plays I remember him in the second half were KO returns. At first I thought he might be hurt and was just being used as a decoy on returns, but he looked pretty healthy on his TD return. Even the CBS guys, Nate Burleson in particular, were singing his praises at halftime and saying he was the true lead RB on this team(and I'm a Zeke fan). Why did we essentially bench Pollard in the second half?
 
He definitely should have been featured late in the 4th and in overtime. But we'd rather watch Zeke stumble along for 2-3 yards.
 
Dallas hasn’t come to the realization yet that more Pollard and less Zeke is good for everyone yet.

Pollard would be a way better early downs player and Zeke can come in once the defenses are loosened up.
 
In a more fair environment, Pollard would be starting over Zeke at this point. He does everything Zeke does, better and faster. With the exception of blocking. He also is a game breaker, and Zeke is a plodding fullback. Might hurt Dak's feelings if Zeke was benched.
 
I’m still mind numb that a hurt Zeke was in the game catching passes in OT. Vs Pollard who was playing on fire that game.
 
Moore and Mike need to be asked that question, if the screen is run for Pollard he gets a first down
