Cowboys Aim to Avenge Rams in Divisional Playoff
Dallas Cowboys star Lee Roy Jordan says the defense has improved since the Week 5 loss to Los Angeles. He credits three late-season wins for earning the club an eighth straight playoff berth and expects a tougher test against the Rams in the WC divisional showdown. Jordan notes Rams receivers like Harold Jackson posed big early problems, vows changes to trouble Jackson, and asserts Dallas can win if the defense shuts out opponents.
