  • Ezekiel Elliott put up a massive 96.4 overall game grade in the Dallas Cowboys Week 7 game versus the 49ers. His performance not only is the top grade for a running back on the week but is also the top game grade for a running back on the season.
  • Not having a single negatively graded run, Elliott put his elite level vision on display making all the correct reads and gaining huge yardage on nearly every play. His offensive line gave him space to work with and, to their credit, performed at level not yet seen this season with three of the five starters earning near elite run blocking grades. Zach Martin (91.9 game grade) led the way and was the top-graded guard of the week.
  • With the huge game this week, Elliott now grades as the second best running back on the season at 89.2 overall. Prior to Sunday’s game, 77.3 percent of his yards were generated after contact.
