By the numbers: Cowboys defense remains dominant

The Cowboys won their fourth straight game with a 22-10 victory over the Rams on Sunday.

Dallas' victory gives them a sweep of the defending AFC and NFC champions.


Here's a look at some of the interesting numbers coming out of Sunday's victory:

*The Cowboys have allowed fewer than 20 points in five straight games, the longest such streak for the team since 2009.

*Micah Parsons now has six career games with at least two sacks. That's the fourth-most such games in a player's first two seasons in NFL history. Aldon Smith holds the record with nine.

*This is the first time since 1974 that the Cowboys have won a game on the road in which they threw for fewer than 80 net passing yards and had no passing touchdowns.

*The Cowboys have allowed 72 points, which is the fewest points they've allowed in the first five games of a season since 1980.

*The Cowboys are now 8-1 in their last nine games without Dak Prescott dating back to the end of 2020.

*The Cowboys have only allowed one rushing touchdown through the first five games of the season.

*The last time the Cowboys lost a road game against an NFC team was over a year ago (week 1 of the 2021 season vs. Tampa Bay)
