The Dallas Cowboys routed the Los Angeles Rams 43-20 on Sunday and Matthew Stafford was replaced by backup Brett Rypien after suffering a thumb injury in the third quarter.
Dak Prescott threw two of his four touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb, DaRon Bland recorded his NFL-leading third interception return for a score and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Los Angeles Rams 43-20 on Sunday. It was a rough-and-tumble homecoming for Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who was replaced by Brett Rypien late in the third quarter after injuring a thumb on a failed 2-point conversion pass and ending up with a bloody elbow after catching another.
The streak matches the club's longest since an 11-game run at Texas Stadium in 1991-92, almost two decades before AT&T Stadium opened. Stafford led scoring drives on either side of halftime to help the Rams trim a 30-point deficit to 16. But the former Dallas high school standout, visiting his hometown team for the first time as a Super Bowl champion, sent the Cowboys on their way with an early mistake.
Lamb had career highs with 12 catches for 158 yards, including another personal best with 122 yards before the break. Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey tied an NFL record with two field goals, giving him 18 consecutive makes to start his career. Travis Coons made his first 18 with Cleveland in 2015. Stafford injured the thumb on his throwing hand when it jammed into a Dallas helmet on an errant throw in the final seconds of the first half.
Cowboys LT Tyron Smith was inactive after injuring his neck in practice during the week. It's the third game the eight-time Pro Bowler has missed, which means the 32-year-old has been sidelined at least three games in each of the past eight seasons. ...
