NFL Week 1 PFF ReFocused: Los Angeles Rams 20, Dallas Cowboys 17
By James Fragoza

The first Sunday Night Football contest of the year could have gone either way, with multiple controversial calls and missed opportunities on both sides. But in the end, it was the Los Angeles Rams who took home the 20-17 victory.
Editor's note: All of PFF's grades and advanced stats from this game will be finalized and made available to ELITE subscribers within 24 hours of the final whistle.
STORY OF THE GAME
The Rams came out firing on all cylinders, orchestrating a seven-play, 75-yard scoring drive within the first 4 minutes of the game. The Dallas Cowboys were unable to reply on the following series, running five plays before opting to punt on fourth down.
The Cowboys lost star linebacker Leighton Vander-Esch to a broken collarbone early in the game, leaving a critical hole in the middle of the defense that the Rams would ultimately take advantage of. Making matters worse for the Cowboys, Vander-Esch is now headed to injured reserve and will miss a significant portion of the season.
Los Angeles ran the ball a total of 25 times, with the majority of their attempts going up the middle. Second-round running back Cam Akers started the game and received 14 carries, though he was only able to gain just under 40 yards on the ground. The real star of the Rams' backfield was Malcolm Brown, who carried the rock 18 times for 79 yards and two scores, punishing the Dallas defense.
