FRISCO, Texas – Ezekiel Elliott is among three nominees for the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week following his 138-yard rushing performance in the Cowboys' 24-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Elliott averaged 6.0 yards per carry and scored his third touchdown of the season. Through four games, the Cowboys' first-round pick leads the NFL with 412 rushing yards.

He's also just the fourth player in Cowboys history to rush for at least 125 yards in consecutive games.
