he Dallas Cowboys wound up losing their preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 13-10. It was a much more sloppily played game than the Hall of Fame game, especially in the first half. But there were some bright spots, including a couple of players who continued their upward trajectory, and some who had badly needed good showings.
One of the things the Cowboys wanted to work on was a better start defensively, after letting themselves get carved up pretty badly the first two series of the HOF game. They certainly came out looking a lot better against the Rams, although the scoreboard results didn’t reflect it. They forced a quick three and out, but a muffed punt by Lance Lenoir gave the ball right back to the Rams, this time at the Dallas 33. LA would score after a fumble that just eluded the grasp of the Cowboys was recovered in the end zone by rookie WR Cooper Kupp. That was the first of a string of Rams miscues that Dallas just could not find the handle on. They would put the ball on the turf four times and keep control (although one was a snap over Jared Goff’s head that set up a third and thirty-five). It would take five fumbles before the Cowboys would get a takeaway late in the first half, recovering the ball on their own three yard line. The difficulty in getting the recoveries was the bad news, but the way the defenders were attacking the ball and getting it loose was the good.
