With 1 yard between the Los Angeles Rams and the Dallas end zone on fourth down midway through in the fourth quarter Womens David Long Jersey , Sean McVay decided to go straight ahead.No clever plays for this high-flying offense. No elaborate schemes from their inventive coach.C.J. Anderson ran directly into the left side while his line cleared a path. He tumbled into the end zone with 7:16 left for the Rams? final points in their first playoff victory in 14 years, 30-22 over the Cowboys on Saturday night in the divisional round.?We always talk about attacking success, never fearing failure,? McVay said of his reasoning behind the simple call. ?We wanted to come out here and try to play fearless tonight.?Los Angeles? ground game is something to be feared after racking up a franchise playoff-record 273 yards rushing from the opening drive to Anderson?s final first-down run.Anderson rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns, and Todd Gurley ran for 115 more yards and another TD to send the second-seeded Rams (14-3) to the NFC championship game for the first time in 17 years.That?s also the most ever allowed in the postseason by the five-time Super Bowl champion Cowboys, who were playing in their NFL-record 63rd postseason game.?Feels great, just running the ball the way we did,? quarterback Jared Goff said after his first career playoff victory. ?Two 100-yard rushers, that?s rare, and it starts with those five guys up front.?Next weekend, the Rams will face the winner of the other divisional playoff game in New Orleans between the top-seeded Saints and the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.The long-struggling Rams had won only one postseason game since their last trip to the Super Bowl in February 2002, but the 32-year-old McVay has added his first playoff victory to his spectacular two-season franchise turnaround . Los Angeles is one win away from another Super Bowl trip after McVay largely stuck to old-time football basics with his unlikely running back tandem and an offensive line determined to assert its superiority.With the Rams? veteran offensive line cutting holes in the Cowboys? defense, Gurley and Anderson became the fourth set of teammates in NFL history to rush for 100 yards apiece in a postseason game, an improbable development just a few weeks ago. Gurley is the Rams? offensive centerpiece and one of the NFL?s elite running backs , but Anderson is a well-traveled veteran playing only his third game with the Rams after signing last month when Gurley was struggling with a knee injury.?It?s scary,? Anderson said of his new partnership with Gurley. ?We?ve got two different styles, and we can keep teams off balance. ? Playing on the field with Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott David Long Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , I?m just trying to make my statement and make my stamp in this game, too.?The Cowboys (11-7), who largely shut down Seattle?s league-best rushing attack last week, hadn?t allowed two 100-yard rushers in a playoff game since the NFL-AFL merger. Los Angeles racked up more yards than the Cowboys had allowed on the ground all season.?We got beaten,? Cowboys defensive end Tyrone Crawford said. ?Like I said in (the locker room), it?s a scar that you?re going to wear for the rest of your life. You can either look at your scar and run from it, or you can look at your scar and remember it, and punch somebody in the face because of it. So hopefully our guys use this as ammunition for next year.?Elliott rushed for a TD and Amari Cooper caught an early TD pass for the Cowboys, who still haven?t won a playoff game on the road in 26 years. After winning the NFC East and beating Seattle last week, Dallas lost in the divisional playoff round for the sixth consecutive time and fell short of its first trip to the NFC championship game since January 1996.Dak Prescott passed for 266 yards and rushed for a TD with 2:11 to play , but the Cowboys couldn?t climb out after falling into a 23-7 hole midway through the third quarter. Elliott managed only 47 yards on 20 carries as Dallas lost for just the second time in its last 10 games.?They?re a physical football team,? Dallas coach Jason Garrett said of the Rams. ?There is a little bit of a misperception of how the Rams play offensive football with the run. They do an outstanding job.?Goff passed for 186 yards and spent much of the night handing off, but the gangly quarterback improbably scrambled 11 yards for a first down with 1:51 to play, essentially wrapping up his breakthrough win. It was also the first postseason victory for the anchor of that line, 37-year-old left tackle Andrew Whitworth, and veteran defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh.Anderson and Gurley ran with equal verve while Dallas gave up 200 yards rushing in a playoff game for the first time since Eric Dickerson did it for the Rams in 1986. Anderson became the third Rams player with more than 100 yards and two rushing TDs in a game, joining Dickerson and Marshall Faulk.The Rams chewed up the ground and the clock on four lengthy scoring drives in the first half. Anderson reached the end zone seven minutes before halftime on a 1-yard plunge ? and just 3 1/2 minutes later Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , Gurley broke through the middle and went 35 yards for his first career playoff touchdown , putting the Rams up 20-7 at halftime.Elliott scored on a 1-yard plunge and the Cowboys got a 2-point conversion to trim the Rams? lead to 23-15 in the third quarter, but the Rams made a decisive 12-play, 65-yard drive in the fourth capped by Anderson?s bold 1-yard TD plunge on fourth down.JANUARY 12 IS A BIG DAYThree years to the day after the NFL approved the Rams? return to Los Angeles, and two years to the day after McVay was hired, the franchise earned its first playoff victory since coming home from 21 years in St. Louis.THE MAIN EVENTA sellout crowd of 77,187 assembled in the cavernous Coliseum, and a significant portion of those fans cheered on America?s Team. The sideline was dotted with celebrities, and LeBron James hosted several Lakers teammates in a field suite behind the east end zone.INJURIESCowboys: WR Cole Beasley had one catch for 15 yards, and tight end Blake Jarwin had two catches for 17 yards. They both missed practice all week with ankle injuries.Rams: Gurley appeared a bit hesitant early in his first action in four weeks, but his knee seemed to hold up well. ? CB Aqib Talib went to the locker room in the third quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. He returned for the fourth quarter.UP NEXTCowboys: Season over.Rams: Either a trip to New Orleans or a visit from Philadelphia for the NFC championship game.TRANSCRIPT: Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff September 4 press conference Los Angeles Rams QB Jared Goff(On how long it seems since his first game as a rookie on Monday Night Football in 2016)?Yeah, it does feel like a long time ago. I guess it was two years ago now. It feels like forever ago and it is kind of ironic. It?s another Bay Area, Monday night game, get to go home. But, we?re excited for the game. I?m excited for the game. We get to see all of my family up there, have a lot of family at the game and get to go play a good team with the (Oakland) Raiders.?(On if his family is excited that they get to be at the game this week)?Yeah, I?ll have a bunch of people there.?(On how many family members will be at the game)?How many I?m getting tickets for David Long T-Shirts Jersey , I can tell you. How many people I actually know there, I don?t know. But how many I?m getting tickets for would probably be about 30 or 40.?(On how he feels that he has matured in the two years since his rookie season)?Yeah, a lot. Just like anyone changes over two years ? you mature, you learn a lot. You learn a lot about yourself, a lot about the NFL and how to prepare, how to go about your daily business, how you get ready for a game. Ultimately, a lot of things have to do with how to win in this league and various different things, you know? There?s a million things and I?ve grown up a lot. That was two years ago. I was 21 then, I?m 23 now. Not too old now, but a little bit older than I was then.?(On how eager he is to get out there and show everyone this year?s offense)?Yeah, very excited. Very excited to get out there and finally get some competitive ? truly competitive ? action with our offense. It?ll be fun. We?re really excited. It?ll be under the lights ? big time game, Monday night. Like I said, against a good team with the Raiders and it?ll be really cool. We?re excited to get out there as an offense and I mean, the defense only played a little bit too. I know they?re excited as well.?(On if he was nervous for last season?s opening game against the Indianapolis Colts)?Of course. Yeah, every game you have a little bit of anxiety and just butterflies. You want to get it out of the way. But, I think this year just being in the system another year Infant David Long Jersey , kind of understanding what our intent is on each play and what we?re trying to get done and what we?re trying to accomplish definitely eases that a little bit. You build a better idea of as far as ? like I said ? what you?re trying to do each play. I?ll have a little bit better feeling this year for sure.?(On if he?s mindful that teams have been studying him since last season)?Yeah, been mindful of it the entire offseason, I think. Just trying to clean up any bad habits I may have, any tips or tells that I may have from last year. You do a self-scout at the end of the year and kind of see what you want to work on. There?s various things that I think I?m trying to improve on. Ultimately, that?s not something you?re so focused on, but something you?re trying to fix ? if there are any tips and tells, but ultimately, just trying to get yourself better each and every day and trying to, for myself, be the best leader and teammate I can be on this team.?(On going through Jon Gruden?s Quarterback Camp and what he remembers)?Yeah, it was great. Something that I grew up watching and getting a chance to go on that show was really cool for me and a cool experience and (Oakland Raiders Head Coach) Jon (Gruden) was great to me. Learned a lot from him ? learned a little bit about protections and whatnot in the short time I spent with him and then just learned about his passion for the game and how much he cares and how cool it was that he did that every year and was really, I think truly, trying to help the young quarterbacks in the short time he had with them. I was fortunate enough to get to spend some of that time with him.?(On growing up in the Bay Area and what he remembers about the Oakland Raiders)?They weren?t very good when I was growing up. They?ve recently been successful, but when I was growing up, they went through some tough times. There was the time, when I was young, when Jon was previously there with like (Former Raiders QB Rich) Gannon and (Former Raiders DB Charles) Woodson and those guys and going to the Super Bowl David Long Jersey nfl draft , I think. I guess he was coaching for the (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) ?Bucs? then, but then he just left. But yeah, that?s ? from when I was really young, I remember some of that ? but most of it wasn?t as successful as then, from my childhood.?(On DE Khalil Mack being traded and if he?s glad he won?t have to face him in Week 1)?I mean we?ll see him in whatever week we play the Bears, so. He?s a good player and right now we?re focused on the Raiders. It is definitely a big trade and something that you definitely see and can react to. He?s a great player and he?s not going to be on the team that we?re playing this week but they?ve got plenty of good players, a great defense and a great team that we?re preparing for. We?re not thinking too much about (Bears DE) Khalil (Mack) right now.?(On if there?s anything different fans will see from him this year compared to last year)?I don?t know. Hopefully more under control, more completions, more touchdowns. I just want to continue to play well and get the ball to playmakers. Just don?t do too much, don?t try to over complicate things and continue to distribute the ball and take care of it.?(On if there?s a couple of plays that Head Coach Sean McVay has installed that he?s particularly excited about going into the game and showing what the team has been working on) ?Yeah, there?s a bunch. There?s a bunch of stuff we?ve been working on this offseason that we?re ready to display on Monday night. A lot of the stuff is from last season as well that we?re going to continue to do and then there?s a lot of new stuff we?re doing. What we?re going to do and how we?re going to do it, I don?t know. But there?s a lot of stuff that we?re excited to put on the field finally that we?ve been working on for so long this offseason. A lot of that is carry over, a lot of it is not.?(On if the practice schedule being altered due to the Monday night game helps them get prepared for the late starting game)?Yeah, I think it?s really smart. I was happy we did that. Just having a late start especially in your first game when we haven?t played in a real game in so long, and playing a night game, can kind of feel weird at first. We?re trying to do our best to simulate that late start throughout the week. I think it?s really smart by our guys and our strength staff and training staff.?
