What year a difference makes for the Dallas Cowboys, who vividly remember getting handled easily by the Los Angeles Rams in a joint training camp practice before the 2025 season. The Cowboys went on to finish 7-9-1 and out of the playoffs while the Rams went 12-5 and finished with a loss in the NFC championship game.
The Rams are expected to be good again in 2026. Some consider them the Super Bowl favorites out of the NFC, thanks to a trade for NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett and the expected return out retirement of former All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald.
The Cowboys have openly talked about having Super Bowl hopes of their own so Tuesday's scrimmage against the Rams served as a litmus test of sorts.
And things went much better for the Cowboys than they did a year ago.
That was especially true for a defense that finished last in NFL in 2025, considering the Rams had the only offense in the NFL that outgained the Cowboys offense last season.
