The Dallas Cowboys (1-1) rebounded in a big way after a Week 1 thrashing to run all over the Titans in Week 2. This week they travel to St. Louis where the Rams (1-1) boast a formidable defensive line, but a shaky offense with an uncertain quarterback situation.

While questions about how quarterback Tony Romo would rebound from offseason back surgery dominated headlines during the Cowboys' offseason, their running game has taken center stage. Through two weeks running back DeMarco Murray has rushed for 285 yards and two touchdowns behind an offensive line bolstered by first round pick Zack Martin.
"I think we ran the ball a lot of different ways against a good defensive front, but certainly when DeMarco had the ball in his hands, he was a dominant runner," Dallas head coach Jason Garrett said. "There's no question in my mind about that."
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is loving the dominant rushing attack as well. "When you can have more of a balance, which means that you're not sitting there with a highway show of passes for Romo, then I think we're seeing you have a better chance for your defense to be more effective, play less plays, better field position," Jones said.
As for Romo, he's been pedestrian through the first two games. Week 1 was a turnover-filled disaster, and last Sunday Murray ran so well Dallas needed just 176 yards and a touchdown to knock off the Titans.
The Rams are still unsure of who will be under center for them. Last week Austin Davis engineered an ugly victory over the Buccaneers, but head coach Jeff Fisher is adamant that if healthy, Shaun Hill will start.
"If Shaun is healthy and able to play and not gonna subject himself to re-injuring this or making it worse, then Shaun's our quarterback and Austin's our backup," Fisher said. "And that's just the way it is."
