I was just dicking around through some boxscores.

Ezekiel has 10 carries for 22 yards.
Pollard has 4 carries for 39 yards.

Elliot is hurt, too. Why would Dallas keep feeding him the ball when it's not working and he's hurt?

Pollard is better than Elliott.
If Elliot wasn't hurt, probably not.

But Elliot isn't the same and it's clear. Pollard runs for 8 yards a carry. Why bother with the gimpy guy who is failing? Maybe it's because they are paying him but that always confuses me.

Lol, as I write that, they hand off to Elliot for. . . .1.

This is amazing. A case study in using the weaker players.

Pittsburgh scores and decides to tack on a personal foul call against Dallas to the kickoff instead of the XP. XP gets blocked, still down by 4.

If that Ravens INT was an INT earlier, then that Mike Williams drop was a catch.
