The Rams were run over by the Dallas offense and defense, 43-20, but also lost their starting quarterback Matthew Stafford to a thumb injury on his throwing hand.
Broken. That could be the state of Rams’ quarterback Matthew Stafford’s right thumb. Fractured. That’s what the Rams offense, defense and special teams did during a Dallas Cowboys onslaught on Sunday at AT&T Stadium. Beyond repair. That will be the status of the Rams’ rapidly dwindling playoff hopes if Stafford is sidelined for any length of time. The Rams’ 43-20 defeat before 93,448 was a bad loss that dropped their record to 3-5. But the potential ramifications are far worse.
But then, like a perfectly barbecued Texas short-rib falling off a bone, the Rams melted. McVay and his players have talked all season about playing a full game of elusive “complementary football,” in which the offense, defense and special teams all play well. During a span that lasted most of the first half, all three units played in unison: They were equally poor as the Cowboys ran off 26 unanswered points. “Things just kind of got out of hand quickly,” McVay said in an understatement.
