Three Stars
1. Todd Gurley
The 2015 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year is now an early candidate for comeback player in 2017. In the upset of the Cowboys, Gurley ran for 121 yards on 23 carries and snared seven passes for 94 yards and a score.
2. Greg Zuerlein
The Rams put 35 points on the board on Sunday and the reliable specialist had the majority of them. Along with a pair of PATs, Zuerelein booted seven field goals at AT&T Stadium (49, 44, 44, 30, 28, 43 and 33 yards) to account for 23 points in the five-point victory.
3. Dak Prescott
In a losing effort, the Cowboys’ second-year signal-caller did his best to rally his team. Prescott threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns (1 interception) and also ran for 25 yards. But Dallas lost at home in the regular season for the first time since Week 1 of last season.
