Outcome: Cowboys 44, Rams 21
Running game differential: Cowboys - 263, Rams - 22 (+241)
(Cowboys of 1980 dominated Rams with a +246 rush uard differential)
Running Game Came to Play:
Zeke - 24 carries, 117 yards, 2 touchdowns; three receptions, 43 yards
Pollard - 12 carries, 131 yards, 1 touchdown
Moore keeps Rams defense spinning:
Did not feed Zeke on first down until NINTH first down
Zeke featured as a ”lead blocker” on several occasions with Poillard receiving the carry
Play-action was big - led to Tavon Austin’s long touchdown catch (as did Dak’s ability to escape Fowler in the backfield)
Moore used “man beater” routes to get WR an advantage on Jalen Ramsey and Yaylor Rapp, who play man almost exclusively
Tony Pollard was really good today!
Used his burst well today; really adept at seeing the hole and speeding through
Best run of his career in the fourth quarter on 3rd-and-1. Turned a lost play into a 33-yard gain.
Garbage time, but a great hit on the hole on 2nd-and-8
Fun stats are fun:
3 for 3 in the red zone
7 for 13 on 3rd down
7 yards per play
25 first downs
36 minutes TOP
