Struggling on offense, the Rams needed a big play to get things going.
They got one from their best offensive player.
Cooper Kupp caught a short pass on third-and-2 from the Los Angeles 25, turned on the jets, and went 75 yards for a touchdown.
With the extra point, the Rams had a 10-9 lead.
Kupp caught the ball 4 yards in front of the line of scrimmage and went 71 yards to pay dirt. Receiver Ben Skowronek helped Kupp by getting in front of some Dallas defenders for a downfield block.
The Rams got off to an inauspicious start, allowing a scoop-and-score on the third play from scrimmage and then had a punt blocked. But now the team has a lead with 9:31 left in the second quarter.
