Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Rips off long TD run

Pollard rushed seven times for 71 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of four targets for three yards in the Cowboys' 27-17 win over the Saints on Thursday night.

Pollard's 58-yard rushing touchdown late in the third quarter gave the Cowboys some valuable breathing room after the Saints had closed to within 13-10 earlier in the period. The third-year back also crossed the goal line on a 100-yard kickoff return on Thanksgiving against the Raiders, making Thursday's score his third touchdown overall this season. Pollard does remain firmly behind Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield pecking order, but with big-play upside and multiple receptions in four consecutive contests, he retains a solid amount of fantasy utility heading into a Week 14 road trip to Washington a week from Sunday.
