INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Just six minutes and 17 seconds of play had elapsed between the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams.
A strip sack returned promptly for a 17-yard touchdown. Favorable field position from a blocked punt handily converted into a field goal.“All right now, TP,” he told fellow running back Tony Pollard. “Get ready now.”
The unusual path to victory also allows Prescott, recovering from a Week 1 thumb fracture, to do what he needs to: heal without rushing. Cooper Rush has quarterbacked the Cowboys’ four-game win streak as Prescott remains “day-to-day” regaining sufficient grip strength to throw. “It’s like you have a sledgehammer that starts it off: boom, boom, boom,” Cowboys running backs coach Skip Peete told Yahoo Sports from the postgame locker room. “Then a sword comes in and slices it up.”"Shoot, I think it's fairly accurate," he told Yahoo Sports."You can definitely look at it that way, and either way: You don't want to get hit with a sledgehammer“I think we’re a good football team when we put the run first and we’ve got to keep leaning on guys.
By the time Pollard touched the ball halfway through the second quarter, Elliott had tracked 27 yards on six carries.“When you run the same play with two different backs with two different styles, get used to seeing the play, reacting and taking an angle to make the tackle,” Peete said. “Then all of a sudden one guy comes in who’s a little faster, it kind of screws up your angles. And all of a sudden, then he’s gone.
The Cowboys regained the lead that Cooper Kupp’s 75-yard touchdown reception had momentarily snatched.Pollard rushed for 86 yards and the touchdown on eight carries while Elliott powered 22 touches for 78.
