Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliot proved he is Yoshihiro Tanbara Archivescharitable in every sense of the word Sunday.
Not only did Elliott's touchdown give the Cowboys a lead in the second quarter against Tampa Bay, but the 21-year-old running back also donated himself to the Salvation Army, jumping into a giant red pot as part of an elaborate touchdown celebration.

TOUCHDOWN, @ezekielelliott! #DallasCowboys https://t.co/xGqO4TGHe6
But this is the NFL, where fun and love don't always fly.
Officials flagged Elliot for "using a prop," something the NFL banned when it clarified touchdown celebration rules earlier this season. Based on the rules, Elliot's flag is completely warranted, even if some argue the NFL is being too overbearing with touchdown celebrations.
"Flagging Elliott for that is utterly ridiculous -- it is against the rules, technically, because Elliott used a prop during a touchdown celebration," writes Will Brinson of CBS Sports. "But the NFL needs to figure out a way to be a little more flexible when it comes to celebration rules."
The NFL has been dishing out flags and fines for touchdown celebrations all year, but it looks like Elliot successfully hid from officials in that pot — he won't be fined, the league announced Monday morning.
But Elliot still plans on breaking out the checkbook.

Speaking of the Salvation Army, the organization wisely capitalized on Elliott's touchdown.

With 14 touchdowns and a league-best 1551 rushing yards this season, Elliott has been a invaluable gift to the Cowboys, who sit atop the NFC east and share a tie for the best record in the NFL.
The man just loves to give.
