NFL fans are reacting on Twitter after the Cowboys coaches left Ezekiel Elliott for the dead on the final play vs. the 49ers. The reactions are hilarious via TPS;
The Dallas Cowboys needed to come up with something special on the final play of the game against the 49ers, as they were trailing by seven points and had to somehow go 76 yards down the field just to have a chance at tying things up.
Apparently, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy had an idea, and it involved Ezekiel Elliott playing center and pass-blocking for Dak Prescott.
My guess is Dallas didn’t work on this play too much beforehand. If they had, Zeke probably would have been a little more prepared for what was to come, because immediately after snapping the ball, he was buried by a 49ers pass rusher.
It’s as if Zeke never even saw it coming.
You kinda want to feel for Zeke here, because there’s no way he should have been put in this situation by his coaching staff.
At the same time, it’s hard not to laugh at the Cowboys running back—which is what most people on social media did.
Zeke will have plenty of time to climb back out of that hole now that the Cowboys have been eliminated following their 19-12 loss. It’s going to be another long offseason in Big D.
This will likely be Ezekiel Elliott’s final play in a Cowboys uniform, and it is undoubtedly a memorable one but not a happy memory. I am not sure what was supposed to happen on the play, as it just led to a 9-yard completion and immediate tackle.
I am sure it worked out a lot better in practice than it did in the game. I Hope Zeke is ok, and it will be interesting to see what happens to him in the offseason.
