The Rams, who were out-gained by Arizona in their season opener, needed a late rally to clip the Cardinals 27-24 in week one. St. Louis found itself in the same chase position last week in Atlanta, but its bid to reel in the Falcons came up short.

The Rams will, in all probability, need four solid quarter today in order to get past the Cowboys. Dallas has been sloppy on occasion this season, but it knocked off the Giants 36-31 in its season/home opener and it nearly upset the favored Chiefs last weekend in Kansas City, falling 16-17 at Arrowhead.
The Cowboys passing attack has been the team's biggest weapon through two weeks of play as Tony Romo completed 36-of-49 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns against New York before tossing for 298 yards and one score against the Chiefs.
Dallas ability to strike through the air puts the Rams in a tough spot this afternoon. Despite being one of the better pass rushing teams in the league, St. Louis pass defense has been horrendous through two games.
