LOS ANGELES -- Jared Goff's preseason debut lasted four passes. He went three-and-out, watched the Dallas Cowboys muff a punt, took over on the opposing 33-yard line and led a touchdown drive, then put on his headset, remaining on the sideline while his Los Angeles Rams navigated their way to a 13-10 win on Saturday night.
