The Rams went five years without being below .500 a single time under Sean McVay. This season alone, they’ve fallen below .500 twice.
After losing to the Cowboys, 22-10, on Sunday afternoon, the Rams are 2-3 and looking more lost than they ever have under McVay. It was a borderline embarrassing loss to a backup quarterback, scoring just 10 points all afternoon.
Here are the studs and duds from Sunday’s home loss to the Cowboys.
It’s rare that Kupp isn’t a stud, but was particularly good in this one. He was the Rams’ only real playmaker, catching seven passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. Other than him, no one had more than 60 yards receiving. His 75-yard touchdown was spectacular, too, making a one-handed grab over the middle against man coverage and breaking away with some impressive speed.
Donald did what he could up front to shut down Dallas’ offense, and he was great against the run and as a pass rusher. He made six tackles, had two sacks, made one tackle for a loss and forced a fumble. The Cowboys tried to use rookie Tyler Smith to block him, but that never worked.
Higbee is the No. 2 option in this offense right now and he actually tied for the team-high with 10 targets on Sunday. He caught seven of those passes for 46 yards, though his long reception was just 10 yards.
Ramsey locked down CeeDee Lamb, unquestionably the Cowboys’ top receiver. Lamb did catch five passes for 53 yards, but those weren’t all against Ramsey. The Rams’ All-Pro corner also had his first career sack, blitzing off the edge to get to Cooper Rush.
Edwards is supposed to be one of the Rams’ reliable offensive linemen in a position group that has dealt with so many injuries, but he’s not playing well right now. He allowed the first strip sack to Dorance Armstrong, which resulted in a lost fumble and return for a touchdown.
On the Cowboys’ blocked punt, Orzech was supposed to get his head up quickly and block Armstrong up the middle. Armstrong had nearly a free run at the punter Riley Dixon and blocked it easily, setting the Cowboys up with great field position.
Robinson was targeted five times, so he had some opportunities. However, he only caught three passes for 12 yards. He’s been a massive disappointment within the Rams offense, doing absolutely nothing to help take pressure…
