Rams and Cowboys, two teams that lost in week 2 will try to bounce back and get win this Sunday when they meet at 1 PM ET at Cowboys Stadium.

Neither of these two teams can’t run the ball effectively.  The Rams averaged 68 rushing yards over the last two weeks, and the Cowboys 62.  They need to balance their attack or they’ll become too predictable.

“The running game has to start with myself,” Dallas RB DeMarco Murray told the team’s official website. “As a running back and competitor, you want to have the opportunity to have some kind of uplift. I have to work hard this week and make sure I’m ready for the Rams game.”

“You’ve got to run the ball better, you’ve got to score when you’re (in the red zone). You’ve got to stop people,” Tony Romo added. “Every team’s doing the same thing after this week that lost, and we’re going to be included in that.”

Sam Bradford leads the 4th best passing offense in the NFL in two weeks; something that sounds crazy considering how much the Rams have pampered Bradford since he entered the league.

“I think it made a pretty big difference,” Bradford said about their new hurry-up offense. “It seemed to just put them on their heels a little bit.”

Quarterback Tony Romo is 2-0 against the Rams, completing 35 of 57 for 505 yards with five TDs and one interception.  The last time they met in 2011 Murray rushed for franchise-record 253 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown run; maybe he gets going this weekend.

The NFL point spread has the Cowboys as 4 point favorites.
