Cowboys and Rams have been on similar paths
The Cowboys and Rams are separated by two games now, but their seasons were eerily similar before the last two weeks.
- Started 3-0
- Lost 3 straight, including one game to a lesser opponent
- Rams to the Bucs, Cowboys to the Jets
- Won two in a row
- Went 1-2 in their next three games
The Rams have since won their last two games, while Dallas has lost in each of the last two weeks. As a result, Los Angeles is 8-5 and the Cowboys are 6-7, even though Dallas is the one currently holding a playoff spot.
