ARLINGTON, Texas -- Starting fast was a key part of the Dallas Cowboys’ preparation going into Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. Finishing was the problem in their 35-30 loss.
A defense that was playing without its leader, Sean Lee, got exposed as the game went on, giving up scoring drives on five straight possessions in the second half.
For the first time since Week 3 last season, the Cowboys’ offense scored on their first four possessions, to take a 24-16 halftime lead, but then the offense went stagnant.
