Things to be noticed in the Cowboys’ game
The defense didn’t let up more than 10 points for the second consecutive week. All season, they haven’t let a team score 20 points.
Numerous players on the Cowboys’ defense make a difference. Every game, a different player steps up, but Micah Parsons is the group’s leader. The Dallas Cowboys defeated Los Angeles Rams 22-10 despite neither team being able to make much of an offensive effort. The Cowboys received assistance from their defense and special teams.
The Cowboys left Jalen Ramsey unblocked on a blitz in the third quarter, leading to the first sack of his seven-year NFL career. In his first 95 regular-season games and nine postseason games, the All-Pro defensive back for the Rams failed to record a single sack.
RB Ezekiel Elliott and RB Tony Pollard make up the Cowboys’ potent running back one-two punch. Even though the Rams have been successful this year at stopping the run, there will undoubtedly be several running plays in this one. There weren’t many well-planned offensive drives in the game. Instead, there was a lot of nothing mixed in with a few flashes of spectacular plays.
There were numerous special-team splash plays in the contest. Then, Dorance Amstrong came up the middle to block a punt, giving the Cowboys a free three points, and the Cowboys got the ball first.
First, rookie Tyler Smith of the Cowboys had a tremendous start, but Sunday was a little difficult for him. He was called for a few holding infractions, and Aaron Donald sacked him twice from the edge.
Dak Prescott, a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, is aiming for a possible return against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday after having the stitch removed from his surgically repaired thumb and starting to throw a football this past week.
