The Dallas Cowboys win streak continued as they shocked the previously undefeated St.nLouis Rams 38-35 to move to 3-2. The game was a wild back and forth contest that saw the Rams march down the field and score the game tying touchdown with 12 seconds left to send it to overtime. The Cowboys relied heavily on Keevon Arnold who had a career rushing day. Arnold rushed for 212 yards and 3 touchdowns on 30 carries. "My line was spectacular today. I really didn't have to anything special except make my reads and hit my lanes." said Arnold after the game. The offensive line for Dallas punished the Rams front nearly all game. LT Tyron Smith and LG Mackenzie Bernadu accounted for 15 pancakes on their own. The Dallas O-Line made the game manageable for rookie QB Hansen Boone who threw three ints to just one TD, but managed the game late for the win.

Boone made it two games in a row where he has overcome early mistakes to regain his composure and lead the Cowboys to points late in games. The Dallas defense also stuck to their M.O. in this game. They gave up yardage and points early, and forced turnovers late in the game to seal the win. Bruce Carter scored on a 105 yard interception return for a TD, the longest play in Cowboys history. The Cowboys defensive line also came up big in this game as the entire front four had at least one sack. Melton had two sacks including a strip sack in overtime where he sacked Rams Qb Taylor and forced the fumble and then recovered the fumble deep in Rams territory to setup the game winning FG. The Cowboys defense forced 5 turnovers and as team overcame an early 14-0 defecit to comeback and win the game.
