Did Zeke quit?

Hall of Fame running back LaDainian Tomlinson accused Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott of quitting on his team Sunday during a lopsided loss to the Denver Broncos.

Following the Cowboys’ 42-17 loss in Denver on Sunday afternoon, Hall of Fame running back LaDainian Tomlinson strongly criticized Ezekiel Elliott.

Tomlinson, the former TCU and Chargers star, said the Cowboys All-Pro running back “absolutely quit on his team.”

“Zeke, to his credit, he didn’t have any room today,” Tomlinson said on NFL Network’s “NFL GameDay Prime.” “He was running, getting hit in the backfield, making moves in the backfield. But all of that is OK. I didn’t like the way he quit today. I didn’t like that. He absolutely quit on his team today.”

Tomlinson was then asked to explain what he meant by saying Elliott “quit” on his team.

“First his attitude on the sideline. Clearly, he didn’t have any communication with his teammates. But also, he didn’t want to talk to his teammates. Sometimes when things are going wrong, as a leader of that team, as a captain, you have to step up and rally the troops. You have to go to the offensive line and say, ‘I know it’s tough but, let’s keep battling, let’s keep fighting.’ You have to go to the quarterback and say, ‘Hey man, I’m not getting it done today — you have to step it up.’ You have to rally the troops.”
