Fresh off the team’s first win of the season after a 19- 17 victory at Washington, the Rams return to St. Louis to host the Dallas Cowboys. The game will be a rematch of last season’s contest between the teams at Texas Stadium. The all-time series (regular and postseason) between the teams is tied at 14. The contest will mark the first time that the teams have faced each other in St. Louis since 2002.

Rams head coach Jim Haslett will be looking for his second victory in as many games and his third career victory over Dallas as a head coach.

4th Quarter

- The Rams managed the ball and the clock with a variety of runs and short passes as Jackson put them in field goal position. Brown connected from 35 yards out to make it 34-7 with 10:33 to go in the game.

- Atogwe ended any hopes Dallas had of staging a miraculous rally with his second interception of the game.

- The Rams got a 16-yard completion to Minor to put them back into scoring position.

- But Jackson appeared to suffer an injury as he limped to the locker room at the end of the game.

- He finished his day with 25 carries for 160 yards and three touchdowns.

- The Rams couldn’t punch that one into the end zone either but got a 48-yard attempt from Brown. Brown took a direct snap and pooched a punt to the Dallas 10 so as not to run up the score.

- The Cowboys took over there.

- The Rams continued to suffer late game injuries as Tinoisamoa suffered an injury on the first play of Dallas’ possession. He walked off on his own and returned to the game.

- Dallas began to march into Rams’ territory against a soft pass defense. Martellus Bennett caught a 33-yard pass to jumpstart the drive.

- Bennett followed that with a 34-yard touchdown catch to trim the deficit to 34-14 with 1:50 to play.

- The Rams got it back and ran out the clock to preserve a dominating 34-14 win.

3rd Quarter

- The Rams opened the half with a 20-yard completion to Holt but a sack ended the drive and the Rams were forced to punt.

- On the punt, Derek Stanley took a helmet to helmet blow and did not move for a couple of minutes. Finally, he was able to walk off on his own power. He’s not likely to return.

- The Cowboys had good field position at the St. Louis 44 but a pair of false start penalties, including one that nullified a fourth-and-1 conversion forced Dallas into a 46-yard field goal attempt from Nick Folk. That kick sailed wide right and the Rams took over at their 36 with 9:33 to go in the third quarter.

- The Rams used that momentum to go 63 yards in two plays as Jackson broke a 56-yard touchdown run off the right side. That score gave Jackson three touchdowns on the day and a 31-7 lead with 8:55 to go.

- Dallas moved quickly into Rams territory, but the defense tightened up again. Johnson fired right intended for Witten but Pisa Tinoisamoa deflected the ball in the air and Oshiomogho Atogwe was in the right place at the right time as usual. He grabbed the interception and the Rams took over and moved into Dallas territory.

- At the end of the third quarter, the Rams have the ball and a 31-7 lead.

2nd Quarter

- The Rams couldn’t convert that into points though as a pair of sacks knocked the Rams back and they had to settle for a 54-yard field goal try from Brown. The kick sailed wide right but had the distance and Dallas took over at its 44.

- The Rams defense responded by getting a quick three and out, taking over at their 13 with 13:26 to go in the half.

- After a holding penalty, the Rams had third-and-15 and just missed another big play as Bulger just missed Avery deep down the right sideline for what would have been a sure touchdown. Surprisingly, Bulger actually overthrew it by a little though Avery slowed a bit to adjust to the ball.

- A punt back to Dallas gave it the ball at its 42.

- Dallas linebacker Bradie James suffered a hyperextended elbow and his return is questionable.

- The Rams defense tightened up and a third-down sack from Leonard Little got the defense off the field with no damage.
- Rams DT Adam Carriker suffered a left ankle injury on the first play of that possession. He’s having X rays and his return is questionable.

- St. Louis took over at its 20 after a botched attempt to pin the Rams deep in their territory.

- On third-and-11, Bulger stood in and delivered a strike to Hall for a 20-yard gain and a first down. The Rams proceeded to get a 13-yard gain from Travis Minor and convert another third down when Jackson blasted up the middle for 2 yards on third-and-1.

- The Rams were unable to finish the drive with a touchdown but did get points as Brown hit from 54 yards out to give them a 24-7 lead with 1:47 to go in the half.

- X rays on Carriker’s ankle were negative. His return remains questionable.

- Brown made an error on the ensuing kick as it went out of bound to give Dallas the ball at the 40.

- Dallas converted a third-and-10 with a 15-yard completion to Jason Witten.

- The Rams got the stop though and went to the locker room with a 24-7 lead.

1st Quarter

- The Rams won the toss and deferred, giving Dallas the ball first. The Cowboys took over at their 26 after a 27-yard return from Miles Austin.

- After a couple of plays set up a third-and-7, the Cowboys picked up the blitz and Johnson found Terrell Owens for a 19-yard gain. Johnson hit Patrick Crayton for 10 yards and Marion Barber broke off a 35-yard jaunt up the middle.

- Barber punched it in from 1 yard out three plays later for a quick 7-0 lead for the Cowboys.

- The Rams came back with perhaps their most impressive answer of the season, quickly marching down the field after the Dallas touchdown.

- On four plays with one penalty, the Rams marched 62 yards for a game-tying touchdown. The lightning was provided by speedy rookie Donnie Avery, who ran a deep go route over the middle as Marc Bulger hit him in stride for a relatively easy 42-yard touchdown. The extra point made it 7-7 with just under eight minutes to go.

- That drive was the quickest of the season for the Rams as they covered the 62 yards in just 1:51.

- The Rams seized the momentum, getting a three and out highlighted by an aborted play that lost Dallas 15 yards and forced a fourth-and-24 punt. New Dallas punter Sam Paulescu shanked the kick just 36 yards and the Rams took possession at the Dallas 44.

- The Rams quickly got a 20-yard completion to Torry Holt. On second-and-6, Bulger hit Avery for what appeared to be a 21-yard touchdown but an illegal shift brought it back.

- Unfazed, the Rams quickly got an 18-yard run from Steven Jackson and he punched it in from 8 yards out on the next play for a 14-7 lead with 4:34 to go in the quarter.

- The momentum continued to swing in the direction of St. Louis as on second down Johnson fired to the left but Clifton Ryan got a paw on it and Will Witherspoon made a diving interception at Dallas’ 17.

- The Rams rode Jackson into the end zone as he covered 16 of those yards and capped it with a dive from a yard out for a 21-7 lead with about two minutes to go.

- On third-and-9 of the ensuing possession, the Rams got another big play. Johnson hit Barber for a gain of 24 yards but he was chased down by Leonard Little who jarred the ball loose from behind. Corey Chavous recovered at Dallas’ 34 and the Rams have the ball and a 21-7 lead at the end of the quarter.

Pregame Notes

- Greetings from the Edward Jones Dome where the Rams will look to have their first full-fledged winning streak if they can beat Dallas today. That would make two wins in a row and make St. Louis 2-0 under new coach Jim Haslett.

- The big news here concerns the two most important questionable players on the two teams’ respective injury reports.

- Dallas quarterback Tony Romo is active and will be available despite his broken pinkie but he will not start. Veteran Brad Johnson will get the call. Johnson doesn’t have the improvisational skills of Romo but if he gets time to throw, he has the weapons and the moxie to make big plays in the passing game. Expect Haslett to dial up some exotic blitzes to force Johnson to get rid of the ball faster than he’d like.

- For the Rams, left tackle Orlando Pace is inactive as expected. Pace is replaced by Adam Goldberg in the starting lineup. Expect the Rams to give Goldberg plenty of help blocking DeMarcus Ware on the left side.

- The rest of the inactives for the Rams are running back Antonio Pittman, third quarterback Brock Berlin, receivers Drew Bennett, Eddie Kennison and Dane Looker, cornerback Tye Hill and guard Roy Schuening.

- The inactives for Dallas are QB Brooks Bollinger, safety Pat Watkins, running back Felix Jones, cornerback Terence Newman, guard Kyle Kosier, guard Joe Berger, tackle Doug Free and linebacker Anthony Spencer.

- Cory Proctor starts for Kosier and Mike Jenkins starts for Newman. Roy Williams the safety will be back in the lineup this week.

- Be sure to check in after every quarter for updates on the game including scoring breakdowns and injury updates.
