They also gave up 45 to NO, and we gave up 10. It's any given Sunday. I respect their team. It's going to be a good game. It's all about who shows up with the right strategy, and wins the fight.

How does Los Angeles score 30+ points against Dallas if Dallas has the ball 8-10 minutes per possession? For instance, Dallas receives kickoff, drives 75 yards for a TD in 15 plays totaling 10 minutes. LA gets ball and does whatever for 1-5 minutes. Dallas gets the ball and drives 75-85 yards for a TD in 15 plays totaling 9 minutes. Now there is 6-10 minutes left. LA gets the ball for 1-5 minutes and does whatever. Dallas then gets the ball for the final 1-9 minutes and drives down the field and scores a TD. The halftime score is Dallas 21 - Los Angeles (0-14). Rinse repeat second half.

The game you need to look at is the Bears game. J Howard ran for 101 and T Cohen had 69 yards himself, but the Bears dominated TOP 36:xx to 23:xx both Seattle games the TOP was split pretty evenly. So if Dallas follows our normal game plan of run and control the clock we can get the W

Additionally, GB played the Rams and while not known as a rushing team, GB has one of the best Yards Per Carry in the league.

Aaron Jones for GB had 86 yards and a TD on 12 carries.

A 7.2 yard rushing average.

The last time they played Seattle the Rams won but Seattle rushed for 270 yards on 34 carries (... whoa) 8 YARDS PER CARRY.

Gotta keep their offense in check. Optimally, we get out to an early lead and grind them into dust with the run game and high % passes.

We need to use Dak's feet early. Right out of the gate, especially when they line up in man, which they will quite a bit.

This is the first thing I thought too.

Obviously the Rams still won a lot of games when allowing a 100 yard rusher. That kind of stuff will be the case when a team is 13-3.

What it also told me is, all 3 of their losses came when allowing a 100+ yard rusher. So one could infer that rushing for a lot of yards is the only way to beat the Rams.
