The LA Rams head to the Lone Star State to take on the slumping Dallas Cowboys in NFL Week 15 in a game that has major playoff implications.

The Rams have won two in a row and three of their last four games but still have work to do to make the playoffs. With three games remaining they are three games back of the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West and one game back of the Minnesota Vikings for the second NFC Wild Card.

The Cowboys are reeling losers of three in a row and four of their last five games. They are at 6-7 and tied for first place in the weak NFC East with the Philadelphia Eagles. They face the Eagles in Philly next week after already beating them Dallas earlier this season.

Dal Prescott had 334 passing yards against Chicago and was not picked off but only had one touchdown. Ezekiel Elliot rushed for 81 yards at 4.3 yards per carry with two scores, but with the Cowboys needing to come from behind they had to go to the air more often.

Prescott injured a finger on his throwing hand in the loss to Chicago where he threw for a season low in completion percentage, but he should suit up on Sunday. Elliot has now surpassed 1,000 rushing yards on the season, but he has not rushed for over 86 yards in any of his last five games.

The Rams have played great defense in the last two games, conceding only 19 points in total. On the season they rank 10th in the league against the pass and 12th against the run.

Dallas are struggling and have gone away from Elliot being the focal point of the offense. It should be close, but the Rams will pull it out on the road and improve their playoff chances while hurting the Cowboys’.
