The Los Angeles Rams christened their new $5 billion SoFi Stadium without fans in attendance, holding on for a 20-17 victory Sunday night over the Dallas Cowboys.
New coach Mike McCarthy had the Dallas offense eschew a potential game-tying 28-yard field goal attempt to go for a 4th-and-3 from the Rams’ 11-yard line with 11:46 remaining, but Dak Prescott’s completed pass to rookie CeeDee Lamb was stopped a yard shy of the first down marker on a tackle by safety Jordan Fuller.
Yes, the Cowboys got hosed on that OPI call that would have put them in field goal range to tie the game but it should have never came down to that.
All those weapons and only 17 points 🤦♂️

A long completion from Prescott to Michael Gallup that would have put the Cowboys back in field-goal range with less than a minute remaining was negated on a questionable offensive pass interference call on Gallup.
Malcom Brown ran for 79 yards and two scores and Sam Sloman connected on two field goals for Los Angeles.
