After finding Allen Robinson early in the first quarter on a broken play, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford made another excellent throw to Tutu Atwell for 53 yards to put the team in scoring position on their next drive. Stafford fumbled on his first possession, giving the Dallas Cowboys an early six-point advantage, but has shown grit in helping the Rams keep this game interesting.
Check out the impressive throw that helped get Los Angeles on the board midway through the first quarter:

The Rams would score a field goal after stalling out in the red zone but are officially on the board in Week 5. Atwell did well to track this ball down on the fly, and recorded the first reception of his career on the highlight-reel play. As a second-round pick in 2021, efforts like these are why Los Angeles brought him into the offense, and they will expect him to make more big gains as the season wears on.
With the momentum built on this play, the Rams are hoping to get themselves a lead at some point in the first half and keep themselves within striking range of a win to keep them tied for the top spot in their division.
