Elliott's final-play block attempt shows Cowboys' desperation in 2022 loss.

In the 2022 Divisional Round playoff game, Elliott was used in an unusual formation on the final play, snapping the ball alone and being asked to block the pass rush rather than carry the ball; this unconventional deployment on a critical play underscores Dallas's desperation and Elliott's limited offensive role in the game.
