Prescott played the entire first half before giving way to Jameill Showers for the second half.
On second down, Prescott smartly checked it underneath to wide receiver Devin Street for an 8-yard pickup.
Goff struggled to assess the time he had in the pocket and also struggled with identifying blitzes. He picked up 14 yards on the ground. That resulted in a 9-yard loss, to near midfield, that took the Rams out of field-goal range.
Rams Coach Jeff Fisher had said this week that the rookie would probably play about a half. Rams running back Todd Gurley and defensive end Robert Quinn didn’t play. The Rams selected quarterback Jared Goff with the No. 1 pick of the 2016 National Football League draft and he’s the team quarterback of the future.
The team’s training camp is the focus of this year’s “Hard Knocks” on HBO, which had its red-carpet premiere this week.
Cowboys: Running back Darius Jackson showed some nice burst, rushing for 47 yards on 13 carries. “He was leading. It was his huddle”. His mindset was not like a rookie.
Almost 90,000 fans flocked to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to see the Rams take on the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas’ Dez Bryant caught a 10-yard touchdown pass, but the Los Angeles Rams earned a win in their homecoming when Sean Mannion threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Green with 1:54 remaining for a 28-24 comeback over the Dallas Cowboys at the LA Coliseum on Saturday.

Keenum said Spruce’s performance was no different than what his teammates have been seeing in practice. He worked a pair of two-minute drills in back-to-back days in which his only incompletions were to spike the ball to stop the clock.
“I surprisingly wasn”t nervous,” Prescott said. “I think he made a real favorable impression on a lot of people”. “He got hit and the ball floated”, Fisher said. Bryant played in only nine games last season with 31 catches and three touchdowns because of a broken foot. They made overtures to free-agent Nick Foles, who chose the Kansas City Chiefs. Before long they will throw Goff to the wolves and allow him to learn on the go.
Overall, it was a solid showing for the Cowboys, especially the first unit. He led three scoring drives and a 154.5 passer rating. “We felt that when we evaluated him”. “And we’re not getting carried away”.

But the frustrating thing for me is, Prescott will be as good or better and if Tony Romo goes down with an injury this year, there’s a good chance he’ll be Wally Pipped. This first appearance against the Rams certainly doesn’t mean he’s the real deal, but it’s a huge step in the right direction.
