Ezekiel Elliott ran for just 48 yards rushing on 12 attempts against the Bengals yesterday, but it was all he needed to move past former Cowboy great Don Perkins (1961-1968) into third place on the Dallas all time rushing list.

Emmitt Smith (1990-2002)
201 - Games
4052 - Attempts
17,162 - Yards
85.4 - Yards per game

Tony Dorsett (1977-1987)

157 - Games
2755 - Attempts
12,036 - Yards
76.7 - Yards per game

Ezekiel Elliott (2016-2020)

69 - Games
1380 - Attempts
6,237 - Yards
90.4 - Yards per Game

With the Cowboys offensive line struggles,  Zeke will see his Yards per Game average continue to fall, but if he can stay healthy and remain in Dallas for the majority of his career, he just might have a shot at the top spot before his playing days are over.
