King Of Bling
The Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott made a $21 donation into the Salvation Army kettle in the end zone after his 16-yard touchdown run on the team's first drive of their 31-23 Thursday win against the Washington Redskins. Two years ago, Elliott jumped into the kettle after a Thanksgiving touchdown run against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
That jump earned him an unsportsmanlike conduct flag, although the NFL spared him a fine. Elliott, in turn, pledged $21,000 and encouraged fans to make $21 donations to match his uniform number. The Salvation Army said at the time that it led to a huge influx of donations in the immediate aftermath of the game.
This time, Elliott -- handed the cash in the end zone by a Cowboys staffer -- was not flagged, with the NFL having since relaxed rules on touchdown celebrations.
NFC East Standings:
Dallas (6-5)
Washington (6-5)
Philadelphia (4-6)
New York (3-7)
New York @ Philadelphia - Sunday, November 25
