Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys had a rough night on Monday Night Football against the Arizona Cardinals and Dez Bryant appeared to have some thoughts about it.
During the Cardinals-Cowboys ‘MNF’ game, Elliott fumbled the ball twice in the first half and increased his total to his five fumbles this season.
Bryant then took to Twitter and appeared to take a shot at Elliott when he tweeted that he had once advocated for the team to draft running back Derrick Henry because Henry had “desire and passion” and not just physical ability.

Bryant immediately deleted the tweet and claimed he wasn’t taking shots at Elliott
I had to delete my tweet a lot y’all childish… you can’t ever have a raw ass convo without somebody creating chaos…. I’m going to keep it basic

I also vouched for the honey badger so who else I’m taking shots at?… wow

Fans weren’t buying Bryant’s explanation.

Well you basically said they should have drafted Jalen over Zeke. Own it, Dez.

He shouldn't have deleted it. Call them out and stand by it. Social media ain't real life.
