LOS ANGELES — Rookie defensive end Taco Charlton got his first sack of the preseason, yet the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Dallas Cowboys 13-10 Saturday at Memorial Coliseum.
On first-and-10 from the Rams 11-yard line, Charlton dropped quarterback Sean Mannion for a 10-yard loss with 1:44 to go in the first quarter and finished the evening with three tackles, a hurry, a tackle for loss, and a sack.
The Cowboys forced the Rams first-team offense featuring Jared Goff and Todd Gurley into a three-and-out to start the game. However, rookie receiver Lance Lenoir muffed a punt at the Dallas 30-yard line.
