Was what we saw on Sunday the Los Angeles Rams’ best game of the year? Can anyone say “no”, or name another game that was better? I don’t think so. Had the Rams beaten the Philadelphia Eagles then we’d have some competition, but they didn’t so I think their win over the Jags is their best win to date, right?
Of course, L.A. is undefeated in the AFC, but it would be wise to start winning some NFC games, but a win is a win and Sunday’s victory was a good one for the Rams.

NFL Week 7 takeaways: What We Learned from Sunday’s 12 games (nfl.com)
“Rams adapt without Puka Nacua, roll in London. No Puka Nacua, no problem. Without Nacua, the NFL’s receptions leader and 36.6% of Los Angeles’ passing offense who was sidelined by an ankle sprain, the Rams under Sean McVay made the unorthodox decision to lean on the tight end. L.A. utilized 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TEs) on 24 of 59 non-kneel plays, per Next Gen Stats; the Rams ran just six such plays from 2021 through 2024. As a result, Matthew Stafford spread the ball around more than he had all year with 10 players recording receptions; three tight ends caught passes on Stafford’s three first attempts, and the other one, Terrance Ferguson, reeled in his first career touchdown in the fourth quarter to salt the game away. L.A. moved the ball with ease in the first half, reaching inside the 10-yard line on three of its four drives and finishing those marches with TD tosses to Stafford targets obvious (Davante Adams, at home in the end zone with three short scores on the day) and surprising (Konata Mumpfield, reaching pay dirt on his second career catch). Stafford (21 of 33, 182 yards) finished with his fifth career five-TD day and his first for Los Angeles. The Rams were briefly slowed in the second half but still rumbled into their bye on a high, dominating an AFC opponent for the second straight week (by a combined score of 52-10) and securing at least a tie for first in the NFC West through seven weeks.“
“The Los Angeles Rams steamrolled the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, heading into their bye week 5-2 off of a 35-7 blowout of a hot AFC team. That win completes the Rams’ sweep of the AFC South, and they can head into their bye week with plenty of momentum after back-to-back wins.
Matthew Stafford was red hot, making international history by becoming the first quarterback to throw for five touchdowns in a game overseas. Additionally, Stafford became just the third quarterback of all time to throw for five touchdowns in a game in three different decades, joining Tom Brady and Kurt Warner.
While many might attribute this to the Jaguars being the Jaguars, Jacksonville has been a very stingy defense all season long. The lesson to be learned here is how the Rams attacked the Jaguars…and that lesson is one that should scare the NFL the rest of the season.“

“This one is easy. Hunter had his best day as a receiver, scoring his first touchdown and recording his first 100-yard day. It is a shame it came in a blowout, but Hunter looked the most comfortable he has on offense all year. And the one time he was thrown at on defense, he made a big play by knocked the ball out of Davante Adams’ hands. He is coming along nicely.”
Do you think this was the Rams’ best win of the year?
