Ezekiel Elliott won't be penalized for his touchdown celebration, but he will still glady pay for it.

After the hearing he won't be fined for jumping in the Salvation Army kettle last night, the Cowboys rookie running back says he will make a donation.

Elliott was expecting to be hit with a fine by the NFL after the game.

"I’m going to match whatever they fine me with a donation to the Salvation Army," he said.

Elliott rushed for a career-high 159 yards in the Cowboys' 26-20 win over the Bucs.
