Cowboys at Rams: LIVE

Cowboys defeat defending Super Bowl champions Rams

1st Quarter Summary

The Cowboys defense started off the game dominant as ever. On the Rams' first drive of the game, Armstrong sacked and forced a fumble on Stafford and Lawrence recovered it and ran it in to give the Cowboys the touchdown to start off the game. They missed the extra point as the ball came loose.

Just after that, Stafford made 3 incomplete passes in a row to bring the Rams to 4th down. Then, Armstrong AGAIN makes a big play, blocking the punt and giving Dallas the ball right in Rams territory. They're only able to get a field goal from that, but it's enough to give the Cowboys a 9-0 lead early in the 1st quarter.

The Cowboys defense held the Rams off again, avoiding a touchdown but Gay got them the 29-yard field goal to make it a 6-point game. Rush got sacked by Aaron Donald just before the end of the 1st quarter.

2nd Quarter Summary

The Rams got their first touchdown to start off the 2nd quarter on a huge explosive play by none other than star wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who busted out with a 75-yard run for the TD. That gave Rams the lead for the first time, 10-9 with 9:31 remaining in the half. 

That lead didn't last long. Rush gave the ball to Lamb, who took off for 16 yards and on the next play, they got the score. Running back Tony Pollard exploded through the defenders and taking off on a 57-yard run for the touchdown. The Cowboys took back the lead, 16-10. 

Donald got a second sack on Rush to start off the next drive. The defenses dominated, forcing 4th downs on both sides. The Rams though, faked it on 4th and 5 and Dixon got a pickup of 12 for the 1st down. The Rams couldn't get far enough after that, though. Dallas held them to 4th down and the Rams didn't take the risk of a field goal, leaving the game with the Cowboys at a 16-10 lead going into halftime. 

3rd Quarter Summary

The Rams defense was working hard to keep Dallas out of the endzone and doing a good job of it. Jalen Ramsey got a sack on Rush and the Cowboys were held to just a field goal with 8 minutes left in the 3rd. There was a little bit of a scare when Cowboys defender Micah Parsons left the game with a groin injury, but he was back at it pretty quick and immediately got a sack on Stafford (his second of the night), so I guess he's just fine. At the end of the 3rd quarter, the Cowboys were up 19-10.

4th Quarter Summary

The Dallas defense kept doing their thing, holding the Rams to a field goal attempt. Their kicker, Matt Gay, missed his first field goal of the season, a 51-yard attempt. The Rams and Cowboys went back and forth on offense for a while before finally Cowboys kicker Maher got another field goal, a 36-yard attempt that put Dallas up 22-10.

The Dallas defense continued to dominate. Odighizuwa sacked Stafford just before Hooker intercepted a pass by Stafford. Those two huge plays by the Cowboys D gave them the ball back and even once the Rams got it back again, the Dallas defense made absolutely sure nothing came of it.

To end the game, Dallas did exactly what they did to start the game. Parsons sacked Stafford (his second of the night), forcing him to fumble, and Dallas' Williams recovered it to get Dallas the ball back yet again and seal the victory. The Cowboys defeat defending Super Bowl champs Rams 22-10 to extend their winning streak to four and their record to 4-1. The Rams fall to 2-3.

Cowboys Inactives

Though he was initially hopeful to be back in Week 5, quarterback Dak Prescott is inactive yet again. Offensive tackle Jason Peters is also out with a chest injury he sustained in practice on Thursday, which is a shame for Dallas as they have been trying to get him up to speed to start at left guard. Defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna moved from Questionable to Inactive after a shoulder injury in Week 4. Other inactives include rookie wide receiver Jalen Tolbert, cornerback Nahshon Wright, linebacker Devin Harper, and safety MarkqueseBell. Safety Jayron Kearse will play this game after coming back from an injury.

Rams Inactives

The Rams are dealing with injury problems and have been since the start of the season. They will still be without center Brian Allen, who has been out since Week 2 with a knee injury he sustained in the season opener against the Bills. Cornerback David Long is also still out after missing the last two weeks, and safety Taylor Rapp is also out after a rib injury he sustained last week. Also listed as inactive are cornerback Cobie Durant, quarterback Bryce Perkins, and wide receiver Lance McCutcheon.

The Cowboys fans are everywhere. But in LA, they have an even bigger presence due to their long-standing training camps, which are held in Oxnard, California. And this week at SoFi, Cowboys fans are expected to take over the stadium. The Rams have been practicing with the music blaring all week to prepare for the noise. Rams coach Sean McVay said they may even shift to a silent count.

Cowboys defense off to historic start to the season

The Dallas Cowboys defense is the real reason they are 3-1 right now. Not to diminish Cooper Rush’s contributions, but without their defense and the incredible work they’re doing, that record would undoubtedly look different.

The Cowboys defense has allowed fewer than 20 points per game this season, the first time that has happened since 1973 and just the sixth time in franchise history. The points allowed per game has gone down with each one. They allowed 19 to the Buccaneers, 17 to the Bengals, 16 to the Giants, and just 10 to the Commanders. The Cowboys defense currently ranks in the top five in points per game (3rd), sacks (tied at 3rd), and quarterback pressures (1st).

Now, they face the defending the Super Bowl champion Rams, who provide a big threat in wide receiver Cooper Kupp alone - he was the NFL Offensive Player of the Year, triple crown winner, and Super Bowl MVP.

"Oh man, if there was a key, not many people have unlocked that door,” said Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn when asked about how to contain Kupp. “It's him, but it's also [quarterback] Matthew [Stafford] as well. Getting them into plays, they motion and check … we'll have our work cut out for us from a disguise standpoint. They can feel like one thing and then play something different. His [Kupp's] ability to run option and choice routes where he can break off of leverage or use his quickness is just remarkable. Their connection, you can feel how tight they are … That's one of the things that stands out.”

In the Rams’ game against the 49ers on Monday, quarterback Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times. If the Cowboys can manage that (and they are definitely capable), they could keep Stafford from getting Kupp the ball to begin with, which would eliminate that problem right off the bat.

"The opportunity for us doesn't change," said Demarcus Lawrence. "It's about us running our scheme and plays right and getting the job done. It doesn't matter who we line up against. We feel like the ones who can stop our defense is us. Once we hone in on our details and communicate as a group, we'll be okay.

Bobby Wagner’s thoughts on Cooper Rush

“Just because a guy has been good against the blitz so far doesn’t mean he’ll be good Sunday.”

Those were Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner’s words about the Cowboys backup quarterback who’s now 4-0 on his starts and responsible for all three of their wins this season. Of course, no NFL defender thinks they’ll get bested by a QB2, but Wagner is pretty confident for a guy whose team’s defense has allowed over 200 yards passing in three of their last four games.

Wagner is a talented player, with 22 solo tackles and two sacks already this season. And perhaps he is implying that Cooper Rush’s luck is bound to run out eventually, which is probably true. But Rush has proven he’s able to stay calm and consistent even with the odds stacked against him. With this trash talk on the table, it’ll be a fun matchup to watch.

Cowboys vs Rams: Where do they stand?

The Dallas Cowboys are on a three-game winning streak, winning against the Bengals, Giants, and Commanders. They’re now 3-1 on the season, losing the season opener against the Buccaneers and losing their starting quarterback in that same game. Cooper Rush has a perfect 4-0 record starting games in his career and will hope to continue that streak today against the Rams.

The reigning Super Bowl champs are now 2-2 after an embarrassing loss to the 49ers last week, 24-9, in which they didn’t score a single touchdown. Their offensive line has been playing poorly against the pass rush, which doesn’t bode well for them against Dallas’ defense, which has Micah Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence, who have four and three sacks this season, respectively.
