84.1

Jared Goff’s passer rating on Sunday, good for 22nd (out of 30 teams) with the Monday night game still to be played. Cowboys’ QB Dak Prescott finished his day with a 123.8 passer rating, which currently ranks 4th in Week 15.

33(%)

That’s the yards per play figure for the Rams on Sunday, which ranks 28th out of 30 teams. It’s the second lowest per play number on the season (against Baltimore they were limited to 3.14)

1.82

Yards per rush attempt for Rams’ RB Todd Gurley on Sunday. It’s his third lowest yards per attempt figure since being drafted in 2015 (71 games) and ranks 27th (of 29) among rushers with 10+ carries this week.
