For the Dallas Cowboys, the second preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams was a much sloppier performance than their first game against the San Francisco 49ers, but came up with a more enjoyable result. Two offensive drives basically salvaged the game, while the defense only had one real breakdown when a muffed punt gave the Rams a short field. The stats are not very pretty to dig into, but there are still nuggets to mine.
They were missing Ezekiel Elliott, Zack Martin, Tyron Smith, and Amari Cooper.
