Over the first seven, no defense in the league has fewer sacks plus turnovers per game, according to Sharp Football.Īgainst the run, the Rams rank 20th in DVOA and they surrender 4.23 yards per rushing attempt to opposing ball carriers (21st). The Rams have allowed more than 8.0 yards per pass attempt in three of their last four games. I expect the Cowboys' red-zone issues to be alleviated by a combination of preparedness after the bye, designed rushes from Prescott and a vulnerable Rams defense. Prescott is not only coming off his best game of the season as a passer, but as a rusher as well.
He also ranks ninth in completion percentage over expectation. For all of the discourse regarding the performance of Dak Prescott, in obvious passing situations, he ranks as the sixth-best quarterback in the NFL in expected points added.
