As any fantasy owner quickly told you this week at the company water cool: Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott did the damn thing Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Elliott finished the game with 114 rushing yards on 21 attempts — including the 32-yard game-winning touchdown with seconds left to play — two receptions for 95 yards — including an 83-yard touchdown reception, the longest by an RB in franchise history — and three total touchdowns.

Unsurprisingly, it earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

On the season, Elliott has 1,255 yards of total offense and ten touchdowns. He still pays the homage forward, though:

Elliott is next in action Sunday when the 8-1 Cowboys host the 5-4 Baltimore Ravens at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
