IRVING, Texas – Thanks to the fine folks at ESPN Stats & Information, here is a stats-eyed look at the Dallas Cowboys as they enter Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams.

Ground and pound: Last season the Cowboys were ranked 29th in rush percentage, but are ranked fourth after two weeks. That translates to having the second most rush yards in the NFL with 347 yards on the ground. During the 2013 season, the Cowboys finished 24th in total rush yards with 1,504. They are also leading the league in time of possession after finishing 26th last season.

There's this from the folks at Elias: The Cowboys' final series included 11 straight runs. The last time the Cowboys ran the ball 11 or more consecutive times on the same drive was Dec. 2, 2001 at Washington. They ran it 14 consecutive times in a drive which spanned the first and second quarters.

Less is more: Romo threw 29 passes last week against the Tennessee Titans. He's much more effective the less he throws. He's efficient too. Romo has thrown a touchdown pass in 30 straight games.

Security blanket: Dez Bryant was targeted on 14 of Tony Romo's 29 pass attempts in Week 2. That's the highest percentage of Romo passes to go to Bryant in a game since the two became teammates in 2010. Romo threw two interceptions on six Bryant targets in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
