Gurley: 'We're gonna whoop up' on Cowboys
When you're coming off a three-touchdown, 149-yard performance, you can be forgiven for showcasing some friendly bravado.
Todd Gurley powered the Los Angeles Rams to a thrilling 41-39 win Thursday over the San Francisco 49ers and told ex-Dallas Cowboys receiver and current NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin postgame that he has his sights set on Irwin's former team, the Rams' Week 4 opponent.
"Like I said, we're taking it game by game and just focusing on the future right now, man. Next week, we've got Dallas. We've got a little break. So we're gonna whoop up on your 'Boys," Gurley said, laughing, according to NFL.com's Conor Orr.
The Rams should provide the Cowboys and their disappointing offense a much tougher challenge than Dallas likely presumed at the start of the year.
L.A. has produced two 40-point performances already, and head coach Sean McVay looks to have molded the perfect scheme for Gurley and second-year quarterback Jared Goff.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys have scored 36 combined points over the first two games, with Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott both struggling to recapture their rookie form.
If the Rams can take down the Cowboys next Sunday, expect playoff talk to heat up in Los Angeles.
