As we head into Week 5 of the NFL season, some things are starting to come into focus, but there are still many questions. One such game that features these questions will see the surprisingly inconsistent Los Angeles Rams taking on a Dallas Cowboys team that has thrived despite losing star quarterback Dak Prescott.
The game (4:25 p.m. ET) will be televised on Fox in select markets. If the game is in your market, you can watch a live stream on FuboTV or DirecTV Stream, which both include Fox in the most markets and come with a free trial.
Those are the two best options if the game is in your market, but there are some other alternatives, including some for out-of-market viewers, so here’s a full guide on the different ways to watch the Cowboys vs Rams streaming live online today:

Cowboys vs Rams Preview
The Los Angeles Rams so far this season have looked like a team that is experiencing a classic Super Bowl hangover. The Rams have gotten off to a 2-2 start this season and have been handled by good teams like the Bills and 49ers while beating lesser teams like the Falcons and Cardinals.
Matt Stafford has gotten off to a rocky start this season passing for 1,015 yards with four touchdowns and six interceptions. The receiver group has been inconsistent besides Cooper Kupp and Tyler Higbee.
Kupp looks like himself with 42 receptions for 402 yards and three touchdowns, while Higbee has caught 26 passes for 242 yards. The Rams’ running game has basically been non-existent with only 274 yards total and only averaging 3.3 yards per attempt.
The defense is allowing 23.5 points per game and has only generated seven sacks so far this season. The unit has been able to force seven turnovers though.
The Cowboys have been a pleasant surprise with Cooper Rush at quarterback. The team is 3-0 since Dak Prescott went down with his injury.
Rush has been solid passing for 737 yards four touchdowns and no interceptions. CeeDee Lamb and Noah Brown have been a good one-two combo at receiver.
Lamb has 23 receptions for 288 yards and two touchdowns while Brown has caught 18 passes for 274 yards and a touchdown. The Cowboys rushing attack has been solid behind Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard as the team has rushed for 416 yards.
The Dallas defense has been stingy holding opponents to just 15.5 points per game so far this season. The pass rush has been one of the best in the league with 15 sacks already. Micah Parsons has led the way with four while DeMarcus Lawrence and Dorance Armstrong have each recorded three.
While this game is in Los Angeles the Rams are coming off of a short week after playing on Monday night. The Rams could be in desperation mode though as they hope to avoid falling to 2-3.
With the way that Stafford has struggled with turnovers this season, the Rams’ offensive line will have to hold up against the Cowboys’ pass rush if they want to win.
