Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Rams: 3 Critical matchups in Divisional Round
By Randy Gurzi
The Dallas Cowboys face the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round of the 2019 NFL Playoffs and these three matchups could decide who wins
Following an exciting Wild Card Round of NFL Playoff action, we have the Dallas Cowboys ready to hit the road to play the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round. For Dallas, this seems like an incredibly tall task as the Rams were the team to look up to in the NFC all season, whereas Dallas was struggling to start the year.
After posting a 3-5 mark in the first half of the year, the Cowboys came to life and went on a five-game losing streak. They ended up finally losing a game again in Week 15 but reeled off two more wins to finish the season with a record of 10-6.
They then quieted many of their critics who said they can’t win in the playoffs by knocking off the Seattle Seahawks. Of course, those critics immediately jumped on the “well they haven’t won two games in the postseason” train (including Joe Buck who called the game last week and made a similar statement as the clock was striking zero).
Standing in their way are the Rams, who went 13-3 and only missed out on the No. 1 seed due to a tiebreaker. They’re one of the more impressive offenses in the NFL and will be hard for anyone to beat.
Looking ahead to this big game, here are three matchups that will be critical to the outcome of the game as each franchise looks to move onto the Conference Championships.
