The afterglow of the huge Dallas Cowboys victory over the Los Angeles Rams is still with us. Dallas was a reeling team. A once-promising season had dissolved into frustration and incredibly bad performances. While this game did not decide whether the Cowboys will make the playoffs, they most assuredly needed a boost to their confidence. They got exactly that with a 44-21 beatdown that wasn’t as competitive as the score indicated. Once they got their foot on the Rams’ neck, they didn’t really let off. A key to that was scoring on five consecutive possessions, starting at the end of the first quarter.
