Ezekiel Elliott is off to a hot start on Sunday Night Football, and he cleaned the clock of one Philadelphia defender on this play.
The former star running back for Ohio State and star of the Dallas Cowboys is putting in some solid work against the Eagles. Through one quarter of action, Elliott already has 33 yards on the ground and a touchdown to his credit, along with this highlight of a run.

On this play, Elliott took a handoff and headed left behind his blocking. A nice lane opened up with just one defender in the gap, and Elliott took him head-on. He lowered his shoulder and delivered a vicious hit, steamrolling the defender to the ground.
Elliott nearly went the distance after his truck but was taken down just inside the one-yard line:
