Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott won't travel with the team for the game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Elliott will be inactive for the game due to "disciplinary reasons."

Via DLLS reporter Clarence Hill Jr.

Zeke been a bad bad boy.
Rico Dowdle about to make some noise.

How do we think Cousins does against the Cowboys today? Does he go nuclear? Have an average game? Or play like shit?

I’m starting him in a ton of Fanduel lineups.

I think hes gonna have a good game if he can avoid the INTs or not get unlucky with fumbles.

Cousins probably goes off, he is a bad man

I'm tuning into Denver @ Baltimore this morning
Great offense vs Solid Defense
and Average offense vs Bad Defense

Broncos are expected to lose by 2 scores

The only problem with Cousins is that there is always a chance of Kurt coming out to play.

I watch NFL most Sundays at my neighbors house. He has 4 TV’s in his basement & NFL Ticket. I make him put the Ravens on every Sunday so I can watch Lamar. Denver’s defense is legit. With the Ravens coming off of a loss and this one being in Baltimore, I suspect Denver loses but it should be a good game.

Denver is pretty much the youngest team in the league except for a couple old vets, it is too soon for them IMO. They are trending up which is good.

I love watching Lamar and usually love the running game heavy gameplays the Ravens use.

I'm worried about the Ravens defense today (maybe more than usual).

Pierce is out.
Travis Jones has been dealing with an ankle.
Urban is out.

Ojabo and Isaac are both inactive so there really isn't even a way to use more OLB pressure due to the lack of healthy D-line.

Marlon is active but might be on a snap count. Wiggins practiced in full but is coming off being out.

Eddie Jackson is inactive... Marcus Williams is back after being benched so thats not confidence inspiring.

They play zone or man mostly?

I'm wondering who Broncos will use as a spy for Lamar, or if they will use one at all. They play a lot of man so that can be dangerous vs Lamar as we know.

Yes?

(I really dont think Orr has figured out what the scheme truly is).

Honestly, they SHOULD be running a good amount of man and mainly being out there in nickel or dime. Marlo/Wiggins/Stephens/Hamilton can all lock up pass catchers. The biggest problems have come in zone coverage handoffs... those have been virtually ALL of the busted coverages this season.

Something strangely calming about Bo Nix saying Hut 1, Hut 2 instead of Dak's OK.... HERE WE GO.

That cadence is new I believe
I haven't heard it on any other snaps this year

I don't like it, his usual cadence is pretty damn good

D. Henry's 100th TD is him running it up the gut and running dudes over.

Should not have it any other way

Holy shit. Harbaugh finally won a challenge.
I guess that arrow thing is the actual chain?

Great runs by Henry and great throws by Lamar, Great drive by a great offense.

I think Denver should just release the rush and not worry so much about rush lane discipline, gonna get picked apart if they just get close and slow down, Lamar is good enough now to see the field and throw from inside the tight pocket. Broncos strength has been their aggressive rushers flying around.

I like the hurry up but these plays aren't running smoothly.
I think they need more RPO action

Nice broken play by Nix, faster than expected and you can tell the defenders are surprised

Missed the bomb to Franklin on 4th and 4 which is ironic because Franklin has dropped two perfectly thrown TD bombs earlier this year
