The Los Angeles Rams are tied with the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 3-3 after the first half of play. Despite the internal hope that the Rams would cut their mistakes and “stop beating themselves”, they had some real blunders today including a missed 26-yeard field goal and a brutal fumble by Matthew Stafford directly after a great interception by Quentin Lake, and that was all in the first quarter as the Ravens led 3-0 by the start of the second.
In quarter two, the Rams were driving when Puka Nacua went down hard on a Stafford pass to the endzone, and he needed to be helped off the field. It is unclear the severity of the injury (Blake Corum was injured seemingly on that same drive), but it looked bad as Nacua left the field of play (he did seem to return to sideline later).
Joshua Karty responded to his missed 26-yard field goal with a made field goal to knot the game at 3-3 with just under 10-minustes to go before the end of the half.
A bit later the Rams forced a fumble on a punt return, but it was negated by a holding penalty as L.A. continues to beat itself, and then on the do-over punt, the Ravens successfully returned the punt into quick scoring range.
The Rams defense responded by stopping the Ravens on fourth and goal with less than 10 second to go before the end of the half.
Whereas the Rams have struggled throughout the contest, the game is still within their grasp with a total score of 3-3, but will they find a new gear in quarters three and four?
