The Los Angeles Rams (5-2) beat the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-3) by a final score of 35-7 in London on Sunday. Blame the officiating as they gifted L.A. plenty of first downs, AND give credit to Sean McVay, Chris Shula, Matthew Stafford and the Rams who came into London and whooped up on Jacksonville.
L.A. dominated, and if you are a Rams fan, then this was very fun to watch, for Jacksonville, it was frustrating.
L.A. led 28-0 in the fourth quarter after Stafford threw four passing touchdowns. The Rams
technically weren’t unstoppable as they slowed up some on offense in the second-half (mostly the third quarter), but they were the better squad on Sunday, and the final score reflected that.
Without Puka Nacua, Stafford spread the ball out with Davantae Adams catching three TD’s, and rookies Konata Mumpfield and Terrance Ferguson each having their own as well.
Jacksonville did finally score in the fourth frame with a long score from Trevor Lawrence to Travis Hunter (another rookie), but when the Jaguars failed to recover their own onside kick with about 8-minutes to go in the game, it was clear that L.A. had control, and it would take a historic occurrence for them to lose this contest.
No historic occurrence in the way of Jacksonville winning came to pass, as the Rams did what they needed to do to go on their second two-game win streak of the season, and take a strong 5-2 record into their Week 8 bye week.
Now, the Rams can celebrate, rest, recover and watch the rest of the NFL games to see what happens around NFC and the NFC West specifically for the rest of today, and next Sunday too, before L.A. gets back to work and readies themselves for their Week 9 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
