Ezekiel Elliott says he is not worried about breaking records, he wants to win
A couple weeks ago people were talking about Ezekiel Elliott breaking Eric Dickerson’s record and Zeke held back no punches. He said he feels he could do it. Well he was asked this week and said he was not sure if he could break it.
“I don’t know,” Elliott said this week, via The Dallas Morning News.
Elliott then said media was the one that ignited the conversation with him and Eric Dickerson.
“Honestly, I never started talking about Eric Dickerson’s record, you guys did,” he said. “So you guys made that a story, but it’s honestly not something I’m very focused on. I’m focused on going out and winning ballgames, focused on getting better with the team every week.”
Elliott is not worried about records though, he wants to win.
“Honestly, what’s important is going out there and doing whatever I can to help this team win ball games and make this team a better team,” he said. “Yeah, that’s something I do want to accomplish, but it’s not a priority. What is a priority is going out and winning ball games every week.”
He is saying all the right things, and just remember this, he only needs to average 115 yards a game to break Dickerson’s record.
