Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams became the latest victim of the stifling Dallas Cowboys defense.
But the Cowboys also unlocked another dimension of their game that they hadn’t shown this season, a dimension that will ratchet up their danger level if they continue it.
Dallas’ offense was explosive. It was efficient. And rather than just follow the defense’s lead as in earlier-season wins, the Cowboys offense guided the 43-20 blowout that could have been more lopsided if the starters weren't pulled with more than half a quarter to play.
The Rams also watched as Cowboys rookie kicker Brandon Aubrey continued his perfect season, tying the NFL record for most made field goals without a miss as he improved to 18-of-18.
