In all, even mixing in some handoffs in the backfield, it was a pretty sweet day for Flournoy.<\/p>\n
“Man, it’s so sweet, man,” he said, his huge smile beaming, then speaking to the patience he’s exercised to this point.<\/p>\n
After all, it wasn’t long ago when the 2024 sixth-round pick was waived as the Cowboys worked through some final roster maneuverings before clearing waivers and re-signing to Dallas’ practice squad \u2014 then placed back on the active roster due to injury at the position.<\/p>\n
The current injuries that have sidelined both CeeDee Lamb and KaVontae Turpin has since created a void the Cowboys need filled until further notice and, one week after it was Jalen Tolbert making the highlight toe drag play to help force a tie against the Green Bay Packers, it was Flournoy taking the Jets out back and flattening their defensive tires \u2014 leaving them on the tarmac without so much as a warning that, on Sunday, they wouldn’t stop him from taking off.<\/p>\n
“It’s hard, but, you know, you gotta let the food cook.” Flournoy said of waiting his turn. “I knew once I got my opportunity, I gotta run with it. I just had to stay patient, honestly.”<\/p>\n
The moment wasn’t too big for the Southeast Missouri State product, and he wasn’t afraid to say why, either.<\/p>\n
“I play for the Lord,” said a humble Flournoy. “That’s all I do, just a One Man crowd. I just go out there and play and showcase my talent that He gifted me, for sure.”<\/p>\n
Thanks to Flournoy’s efforts, Prescott was able to help lead the Cowboys to a convincing victory that complemented and rewarded the defense for what wound up being that unit’s best game of the season as well.<\/p>\n
Combined with the 108 rushing yards from Javonte Williams in the first half, the WR-RB combo became the first duo in any game since 1978 to have both a 100-yard receiver and 100-yard rusher in the first half of a single game.<\/p>\n
Is that good? Seems good.<\/p>\n
“Man, all glory to God, first and foremost,” said Flournoy. “Without Him, I wouldn’t even be here and have this opportunity to go out and do what I love, man. It’s special, you know? And the way I play, I play for Him. It’s in Colossians 3:2, that in whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, and that you are working for the Lord, not for men. <\/p>\n
