LeBron calls for Cowboys' Elliott to win both MVP and ROY
Every Dallas Cowboys fan is head over heels for rookie phenom Ezekiel Elliott.
In that respect, LeBron James is no different.
Elliott powered the red-hot Cowboys to a 35-30 victory over the pugnacious Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday by scoring two touchdowns in the final two minutes.
Watch: Elliott seals game of the year for Cowboys with last-second TD
That prompted an excitable James to name Elliott as his pick for both Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player.
Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!! #CowboysNation @EzekielElliott. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #MVPandROY

Offensive Rookie of the Year is already in the bag for Elliott and MVP isn't out of the question. Elliott faces stiff competition for the award, but he leads the league in rushing yards and shares a four-way tie for first in rushing touchdowns.
Elliott rushed for 114 yards on the ground Sunday to go along with 95 receiving and three total touchdowns to help Dallas skyrocket into first place in the NFC at 8-1. That's an MVP-worthy performance.
