ARLINGTON, Texas — In the Dallas Cowboys‘ postgame locker room, Ezekiel Elliott cradled an imaginary trophy midair. The seventh-year pro’s message: He worries not who carries the football each Sunday. He wants to carry something bigger and better. “All I’m worried about is winning, and at the end of the season.
