With the Cowboys’ season coming to a disappointing end a few weeks ago, Ezekiel Elliott needed something to celebrate.
In Thursday’s Pro Bowl Skills Challenge, Elliott was one of the NFC’s players in the dodgeball event. Not only was the former Ohio State running back on the winning team, he delivered the final blow, knocking the AFC’s T.Y. Hilton out of the game to solidify the victory.
So how did Elliott celebrate?
Soccer style, of course:

Ah, the old, take your shirt off, run around aimlessly and fall to your knees trick. Classic.
Unlike in the NFL season, the players aren’t hampered by such strict celebration policies, allowing the fans to see a more fun side of Elliott in Orlando. I mean, can you imagine if he did something like that after scoring a touchdown?
That’d probably result in a pretty hefty fine.
