Bonsignore: Rams finally settled into L.A. home after roaring back to beat Dallas Cowboys
By Vincent Bonsignore, Los Angels Daily News
ARLINGTON, Texas >> The official archives will forever decree the Rams returned home to Los Angeles on January 12, 2016, by edict of the 32 owners of the National Football League and one very persuasive push by Jerry Jones, the influential owner of the Dallas Cowboys.
Officially, anyway.
Just don’t be surprised if somewhere down the road someone points to October 1, 2017 as the day the Rams truly became ours again.
They were L.A.’s team in name only last year. But it never quite felt right or natural. They were trying to re-introduce themselves to their new surroundings and we were trying to acclimate ourselves to their presence again.
In some ways it felt forced. Contrived, even.
We knew them. But we didn’t know them, if that makes any sense.
It didn’t help that they forced us to endure a 4-12 season that, incredibly, was even worse than the record suggests. So this is what we waited 21 years for, we muttered to ourselves.
It was a bad deal all around.
That all changed on Sunday when the Rams strolled into Dallas and miraculously overcame a great team in a hostile environment, injuries, penalties, a shaky defensive first half, communication problems and those God-awful uniforms to beat the Cowboys, 35-30.
They arrived, finally, in L.A.’s hearts and imagination by going toe to toe with one of the best teams in the NFL and outplaying, out-muscling and out-coaching them at every critical turn.
