The Cowboys have won three straight games under Rush, but this will be the toughest defense they’ve faced in the last four weeks. The Rams have elite defensive players at all three levels and will be a different animal for the offense to tame.

Defensive tackle Aaron Donald is in the conversation for the best player in the league, regardless of position. Donald is a seven-time First-Team All-Pro, has 100 career sacks, and five straight seasons with double-digit sacks.

It’s a down year thus far, but Donald has two sacks on the season.

An offseason acquisition, linebacker Bobby Wagner leads the Rams in tackles and remains one of the top players at the position.

On the backend, Jalen Ramsey is considered one of the top cornerbacks in the game. Ramsey is in the top five in the NFL for passes defensed this season with five and has an interception as well. If Ramsey isn’t the best CB in the league, he’s in the conversation and Rush needs to be careful throwing his way.

Scoring points against this defense will be a tall task for Rush and the Cowboys’ offense.
