![]() It's probably time we had a conversation about the Rams. They are the reason why Dallas is a contender. Trevon Diggs, Anthony Barr, Donovan Wilson, Micah Parsons and Anthony Brown all showed up in big spots.

On the Rams' next drive, Armstrong showed up again, and blocked a punt, setting Dallas up with great field position. That showed itself on Sunday, as on the Rams' first drive of the game, the Dallas defense stole the spotlight in emphatic fashion, as Dorance Armstrong strip-sacked Matthew Stafford on third-and-1, and DeMarcus Lawrence scooped up the loose ball and returned it 19 yards for the first points of the game. ![]() ![]() The Cowboys entered Sunday allowing just 15.5 points per game - which ranked third in the NFL - and owned the second-highest pressure rate.
