Now that's giving generously.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott must have been feeling charitable after scoring a touchdown against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday night.

He jumped into an oversized Salvation Army kettle. That’s quite a donation.

I mean it’s just sitting there right in the end zone, you know. It’s the perfect celebration,” Elliott said, per ESPN. “They’re one of our biggest partners, so I had to show them a little bit of love.”

NBC announcer Cris Collinsworth joked at the time that Elliott should be granted a charitable tax exemption, but Elliott instead received a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The Salvation Army wisely pounced on the moment to promote its cause.

Dallas won 26-20, but the best highlight happened off the scoreboard.
