Elliott, ’Boys overcome tricky Steelers

Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys just keep on rolling. Not even a fakespike special from Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger could derail the hottest team in the NFL.

Elliott ran for 114 yards and two touchdowns — both in the final two minutes — and had an 83-yard catch-and-run for a score as the Cowboys pulled off a thrilling 35-30 victory last night in Pittsburgh for their eighth straight win.

Dak Prescott overcame an early fumble to pass for 319 yards and two scores for Dallas, which matched the longest single-season win streak in club history behind the two rookies who hardly seem to be bothered by the stage. Dez Bryant added six catches for 116 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown reception.

Roethlisberger threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns. Antonio Brown caught 14 passes for 154 yards, including a 15-yard score with 42 seconds left after Roethlisberger faked a spike in an attempt to surprise the Dallas defense.
