Top 20 Plays (Moments) of the 2016 NFL Season

No. 7: Ezekiel Elliott vs Steelers
In one of the best individual performances by a running back this season, Zeke finds himself at No. 7 on this list. Easily one of the best games of the season saw lead change after lead change, especially late in the game.
The Steelers hung tough and scored a good amount of points on the Cowboys defense, but Zeke would not be denied. After taking a long pass for TD in the first half, and another long run for touchdown in the 2nd. The Cowboys had the ball with less than a min and needing a score.
Contrary to most teams passing the ball in late game scenarios, the Cowboys handed the ball to Elliott, and he did the rest, scoring on another long run with 9 seconds remaining.
He finished with 114 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns, adding 95 yards and a touchdown through the air. 200+ yards, 3 touchdowns, including the game-winner. Good enough for No. 7 in my book.
