For the first time since 2006 the Dallas Cowboys find themselves in a two-game losing streak. The St. Louis Rams beat Dallas 34-14, in what was without question their worst effort of the season. Brad Johnson got the start for the injured Tony Romo, and looked effective on the first drive leading the Cowboys to an early 7-0 lead. Unfortunately the Rams would tie it, and it all went downhill from there.
It was the first quarter that did the Cowboys in, with the Rams scoring 21-points quickly. After that, they could never recover with the offense once again looking shaky for the third week in a row. This one stings more than the others because it’s to a Rams team that’s been dreadful this year. St. Louis had only scored 4-touchdowns in their first five game, and hadn’t eclipsed the 20-point until today.
Brad Johnson in his first start was 17-34, 234-yards, 1 td, and 3 interceptions. It was obvious the offense wasn’t going to be effective with the Rams defense pressuring Johnson all game.
The defense was also disappointing, letting Steven Jackson run all over them. Jackson finished with 160-yards and three-touchdowns.\
Up next, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a much better team then the one that beat up the Cowboys today.
