Interesting tidbit. The Rams have won 8 of 11 games when allowing a rusher to gain 100+ yds . I have not checked the game stats per drive to see if they have given up big chunk plays or if they have faced a grinder like Dallas and Zeke. It is one thing to give up 100 yds in a few chunk plays and another to a RB that keeps hammering away for 3-5 yds to keep the chains moving.

Second, out of the 16 regular season games this year, the Rams have allowed 100+ yards rushing 11/16 times. They’ve allowed 140+ yards rushing 5/16 times. They’ve allowed 190+ yards rushing 3/16 times. Of the games the Rams have allowed 100+ rushing yards, they’ve won 8/11 times. In their two contests versus the Seattle Seahawks, the Rams allowed 273 and 190 yards rushing. They escaped both of those games with a win, sweeping their rival.
My point being is the Rams aren’t good at stuffing the run, and everyone who’s played them this season is well aware. The Cowboys identity on offense is to establish the run, stay ahead of the chains, and then use the short-intermediate passing game which includes a ton of slants and timing routes.
