NFC West Round-Up: How the division handled Week 1

Here’s a look at how the NFC West division fared in Week 1 of the NFL regular season.

Los Angeles Rams: Won 20-17 over Dallas Cowboys

The Rams suffered the classic Super Bowl hangover in 2019, stumbling to a pedestrian 9-7 record. Going into 2020, many have written Los Angeles off for dead, seemingly destined for a rebuild.

At least for one week, the reports of the Rams’ demise could be exaggerated. The Rams christened their brand new stadium and debuted their “interesting” new uniforms with a physical 20-17 win over the Cowboys.

The Rams got back to their identity of tough running and precise, rhythmic throws from quarterback Jared Goff to hang on to a 3-point victory.
