The Rams roll out the welcome mat for the Cowboys, but this clash is anything but business as usual. Dallas is on the hunt for a new QB2, while the Rams are eager to put Jimmy Garoppolo through his paces.
The series between these two heavyweights tilts ever so slightly in the Cowboys’ favor at 20-18, with Dallas also taking the last meeting in October 2023—a commanding 43-20 win at home.
Over in L.A., the arrival of Garoppolo is no small storyline. With Matthew Stafford’s injury casting a long shadow, Sean McVay needs the veteran to shake off any rust and find his rhythm in a hurry.
That could mean fans get their first look at Jimmy G in Rams colors this weekend. Limited draft picks mean L.A. will be giving their rookies plenty of snaps, including Pittsburgh product Konata Mumpfield, who’s eyeing a spot in the wide receiver rotation.
On the flip side, both Cooper Rush and Trey Lance are gone from Dallas, leaving Dak Prescott without a clear understudy. That vacancy sets the stage for Joe Milton III and Will Grier to duke it out for the role, starting right here.
Rookie running back Jaydon Blue, a Texas Longhorn standout and this year’s fifth-round pick, will also be tossed straight into the deep end. The powerful ball-carrier is expected to face an early trial by fire, and all eyes will be on how quickly he makes the leap.
