They were led by Ezekiel Elliott (151 Rush Yds, 1 Rush TD, 36 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) and Michael Thomas (8 Rec, 70 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs).

Coach Talk

BALLSWIN
You know what, BALLSWIN, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Chris Carson), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Axel
Try to take comfort in the fact that your generosity did not go unnoticed, Axel. It takes a true winner to help someone like BALLSWIN succeed this week. Who knows, maybe one day they can do you a solid and return the favor!
