Elliott breaks three tackles on his way to the 1-yard line.

I could have used at least a dozen examples to show how good of a blocker Zeke is. Here’s another one.

Zeke with a nice cut back, gets out in space, and bounces off a couple of tackles on his way into the endzone.

Elliott mishandles the direct snap. This is the second time in this game where he struggled with ball security. The other was the muffed punt.

If he wasn’t already impressive enough, here is Zeke losing his shoe in the middle of a huge gain.
