At 1:00 p.m. the Dallas Cowboys (1-1) will try to get back on a winning track at home against the St. Louis Rams (1-1), who notched their first win of the season in Week 2. The game can be live streamed here; Rams fans can hear the action on 101 ESPN while Cowboys fans can tune in to 105.3 The Fan.
The Cowboys offense was stifled by the Kansas City Chiefs last week, and as a whole the team believes the running game must pick up its production for this season to be successful. Injury-prone running back DeMarco Murray is healthy right now, so the entire offense needs to make it work.
"The running game has to start with myself," 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."
Quarterback Tony Romo agreed with Murray, but also shouldered some blame for not converting enough in the red zone. "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," Romo said. "Every team's doing the same thing after this week that lost, and we're going to be included in that."
Meanwhile, St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford is surprisingly among the league leaders in pass attempts this year, connecting twice with rookie Tavon Austin for touchdowns. Bradford piled up 352 yards passing on 55 attempts last week.
"I think it made a pretty big difference," Bradford said. "It seemed to just put them on their heels a little bit."
