Rams Winners & Losers: Second half slump was symbolic of season so far
Jaylen Watson joins Puka Nacua, Myles Garrett on the injury list and Rams offense just isn’t the same
Winners
1. Kyren Williams, RB - Kyren Williams had a standout performance as he caught six passes for 70 yards and rushed 15 times for 88 yards (5.9 average). His consistent play made him an important contributor on the comeback attempt.
2. Davante Adams, WR - Despite being matched up against the best cornerback in the NFL, Patrick Surtain, Davante Adams still managed to get open and catch seven of 13 targets for 137 yards. His ability to make plays in crucial situations provides encouragement for the future.
3. Kobie Turner, DT - Kobie Turner stepped up to fill the void left by Myles Garrett and forced an interception in the second half. His ability to make big plays for the Rams defense was crucial in regaining the lead.
Losers
1. Matthew Stafford, QB - Matthew Stafford struggled throughout the game, completing 30 of 55 passes (55%) for 390 yards, two scores, and two interceptions. His performance in the second half was particularly disappointing, as he threw an interceptable pass before halftime that could have shifted momentum.
2. Terrance Ferguson, TE - Terrance Ferguson had recently emerged as a promising player, but his ankle injury caused him to leave the game in the first quarter. His absence was felt, especially with Puka Nacua also out.
3. Matthew Stafford, QB (again) - Although Stafford had a solid first half, his overall performance throughout the game was a significant factor in the loss. He wasn't as effective in the second half and failed to capitalize on opportunities to set the team up for a better comeback.
