Cowboys pummel Rams with an unexpected unit leading the way

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.
