Cowboys vs Rams Preview
The Cowboys boast one of the league’s better defenses, surrendering the seventh-fewest yards and sixth-fewest points in the NFL. They’re particularly strong against the run, surrendering the fifth-fewest yards and the fifth-fewest yards per attempt.
That run defense will be tested on Saturday.
Led by star running back Todd Gurley, the Rams finished the season third in rushing yards and yards per attempt, as well as second in rushing touchdowns, despite rushing fewer times than seven other teams. Gurley led the NFL with 17 rushing touchdowns and 21 rushing and receiving touchdowns, despite his missing two games.
“I believe as you go further in these playoffs, it’s about stopping the run,” Dallas defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli said, according to The Dallas Morning News. “They are great at play-action with the back. They sell it and it sucks the defense in. … The No. 1 thing is you got to get them out of that game.”
The Rams also finished the year with the fifth-most passing yards, on the 14th-most attempts. They were second only to the Kansas City Chiefs in points and total yards from scrimmage.
“We are built with speed … we have to use it,” Marinelli told the paper. “We are in great condition. We are a highly, highly conditioned defense that can run. That’s our whole mentality this week.”
In his third season, Rams quarterback Jared Goff completed 64.9 percent of his passes for 4,688 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
“He’s gotten better physically,” Rams head coach Sean McVay said of his quarterback, according to the Los Angeles Times. “He’s got a better understanding of what we’re trying to get done, what defenses are trying to do. … I just think that he’s better equipped to play at a higher level.”
Last year, the Rams made the playoffs for the first time in 14 seasons, but they fell 26-13 at home to the Atlanta Falcons. Goff completed 24 of his 45 attempts for 259 yards and a touchdown without turning the ball over.
“You have butterflies early on, but I wouldn’t say I was nervous,” Goff said, per the Times. “I was excited, and I feel the same way this year.”
If the Rams are to get their first home playoff victory since January 2002 — when they played in St. Louis — they’ll have to overcome a stadium loaded with supporters of the opposing team. According to the Times, Vivid Seats digital content marketing manager Stephen Spiewak estimated Cowboys fans could make up close to 40 percent of the LA Memorial Coliseum crowd on Saturday.
“We’re hoping to see a lot of Rams fans come out,” McVay said. “We’ve had great turnouts at home this year. It’s been great atmospheres and environments, but Dallas is one of those franchises that travels really well.”
