Dak Prescott passed for 266 yards and a touchdown, but Dallas managed three points on its six drives in the second half.

Van Jefferson's first career reception was a beautiful 31-yard grab in the second quarter, but it was the promising Rams rookie's only reception. Right tackle Cam Erving and tight end Blake Jarwin both didn't return from knee injuries in the second quarter.

SoFi Stadium is improbably, thrillingly big the NFLs largest stadium in pure size at 3.1 million square feet while seating 70,000, with the ability to accommodate up to 100,000 if needed but this is no big-box warehouse. Things will be even busier outside SoFi Stadium on the 298-acre campus, which already has greenery and a man-made lake.
