5 thoughts from Cowboys' playoff exit in Los Angeles: A recipe for complete disaster unfolds vs. Rams

LOS ANGELES -- Another promising Cowboys team, another divisional-round playoff exit. The NFC Championship Game drought since the 1995 season continues.

Here are my thoughts on the Cowboys losing to the Rams 30-22 on Saturday night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum:

1. If you're an elite defense, you can't let any team run all over you like that. It doesn't matter how good their offense is. The Rams did whatever they wanted all night on the ground. At halftime, Dallas had given up 170 rushing yards. That's against a Cowboys defense that held opponents to 94.
