The Los Angeles Rams entered Arlington with determination but faced an uphill battle against a formidable Cowboys squad. Despite a valiant effort, the Rams could not overcome their opponents' offensive onslaught. The game's statistics painted a picture of hard-fought contests within various aspects of play.


The Rams' defense managed to sack the opposing quarterback three times for a loss of twenty-two yards and recorded five tackles for loss totaling twenty-five yards. They also forced two three-and-outs and defended six passes throughout the game, showcasing moments of defensive resilience. Additionally, an interception by the Rams added eighteen return yards to their tally.

On offense, however, challenges persisted for Los Angeles. The quarterback was under pressure resulting in two sacks and lost sixteen yards in those plays. Nevertheless, he completed eighteen out of thirty-two pass attempts with one touchdown pass that covered twenty yards - this being their longest passing play - contributing to a total passing yardage of two hundred four.


The ground game added ninety-two rushing yards on twenty-four attempts with an average gain per carry rounding up to four yards; it included one rushing touchdown from just one yard out but also suffered three tackles for loss which set them back five yards overall.


Special teams had mixed results; while punting was frequent with five attempts totaling one hundred eighty-three yards including one blocked punt and only one landing inside the twenty-yard line, field goal kicking was perfect with both attempts successful from within forty-nine yards giving them six points from this phase alone.


Penalties were relatively low for both teams; however, they did cost Los Angeles some momentum as they incurred four penalties amounting to twenty-five penalty-yards lost during crucial moments in play.


As fans look ahead after this tough outing at AT&T Stadium, they can mark their calendars for when the Los Angeles Rams will take on Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on November 5th at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. This upcoming match will be broadcasted live on FOX where fans can tune in to support their team as they seek redemption following this challenging encounter against Dallas Cowboys.
