On the subject of Elliott — who leads the NFL with 412 rushing yards, including 278 in his last two games — Burfict said:
“The offensive line is the best on the team. They’re a great O line, and honestly I think any running back could run behind them. Just find the hole for Ezekiel and obviously hit it.”
When the topic switched to Prescott, the exchange went like this:
Reporter: “How much do you know about Dak Prescott?”
Burfict: “Who?”
Reporter: “Dak Prescott.”
Burfict: “Who?”
Reporter: “Um….”
“Who?” Burfict said for a third time with a chuckle. “No, I’m just playing. He’s a great quarterback. I was a fan of him in college. I watched a lot of their games in college. He makes good decisions. We’re going to have a tough task in front of us. We want him to stay in the pocket and not let him get out and obviously pat the ball a lot and make bad decisions back there.”
