Ezekiel Elliott is back in the playoffs! After leaving the Dallas Cowboys, he’s now with the Los Angeles Chargers. This gives him a chance to help a team that might win big this season.
It’s a big change for Zeke.
Leaving Dallas, where things weren’t going so well, Ezekiel Elliott has joined the Chargers, who have had an amazing turnaround this year. Just last season, they were struggling, but with new leadership under Jim Harbaugh, they’ve become strong contenders. Their 11-6 record in the tough AFC West shows their progress.

Elliott’s return to Texas for his debut game with the Chargers adds an interesting twist. The Chargers are set to face the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round. It’s a chance for Elliott to shine once again on Texas soil and show his value to his new team.
Even though Elliott is only on the practice squad right now, there’s hope he’ll see some action. The Chargers are known for their run-heavy strategy, which could benefit from Elliott’s skills. We’ve seen players like J.K. Dobbins thrive in similar situations with the Chargers’ offense.
Elliott may be older and more worn than some of his peers, but he’s got a solid offensive line backing him up now. With a talented quarterback like Justin Herbert leading the charge, the Chargers aim to balance their offense with strong running plays.
Here’s hoping we see Zeke take the field on Saturday!
