That touchdown makes it 9 straight games with a score for Elliott. It puts him in elite NFL company since 2000.
According to NFL Research, Elliott is just the fifth player since 2000 to reach 9 straight games with a rushing touchdown in a single season. Jonathan Taylor is the most recent to do it during the 2021 season.
