Dak Prescott, Cowboys Beat Kirk Cousins, Redskins Behind Ezekiel Elliott's 2 TDs

No one knows whether Ezekiel Elliott will be available the next time the Dallas Cowboys take the field. If he isn't, the Dallas Cowboys will have massive shoes to fill. 

Elliott rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns, and the Dallas defense held Washington's offense in check on its way to a 33-19 victory Sunday.

After being limited to three touchdowns in his first five games, Elliott has scored five times in his last two contests. He's also gone over 100 yards in each of his last three contests, putting him in a rhythm the Cowboys will have to hope is allowed to continue.

A federal judge is set to rule this week on the temporary restraining order granted in his six-game suspension related to July 2016 domestic violence accusations. There is a hearing scheduled for 5 p.m. ET in New York, after which the monthslong back-and-forth may finally come to an end.

If U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla grants Elliott an injunction on his suspension, he will likely play the remainder of the season. If the NFL's suspension is upheld, Elliott will in all likelihood miss the next six games.

Elliott's 2,321 career rushing yards through his first 22 games trail only Eric Dickerson in NFL history. 

The Cowboys offense sans Zeke did not provide much production, with a second-half downpour limiting both teams' passing games. Dak Prescott, coming off one of his best games as a pro, threw for just 143 yards on 14-of-23 passing. He was also limited to 16 yards rushing on three carries. 

Bryant led all Cowboys with four receptions for 39 yards. 

The Washington offense performed a little better through the air, with Kirk Cousins finishing with 263 yards and a touchdown against an interception. The pick came on Washington's last drive on a pass tipped at the line of scrimmage, which Byron Jones returned 21 yards for a touchdown. 

Limited largely to underneath and intermediate routes due to the downpour, Cousins spent most of the evening hitting Jamison Crowder and running back Chris Thompson on catches designed to produce runs after the catch.

Crowder made nine receptions for 123 yards in his best output of the season. Thompson, continuing his breakout campaign, caught eight balls out of the backfield for 76 yards. Washington's ground game continued to struggle, producing just 49 yards on 15 carries.

While the Cowboys outgained Washington by only 22 yards, their running game allowed them to hold possession for more than 33 minutes. Dallas also took advantage of three Washington turnovers.

The Cowboys, with or without Elliott, will host the Kansas City Chiefs next Sunday. Their 4-3 record puts them in wild-card contention, as it's looking increasingly like the 7-1 Philadelphia Eagles will run away with the division.

Washington sits at 3-4 and has already lost three games in the East. The team travels to Seattle next Sunday for a meeting with the Seahawks.
