The Rams did everything necessary in the end to beat the Colts 27-20, but it wasn’t without help of 2 huge mistakes by Indianapolis receiver AD Mitchell, who was filling in for an injured Alec Pierce. Said head coach Sean McVay after the win, “Sometimes the football Gods are smiling down on you”.

The football Gods must have forgotten about the Rams during Week 3’s loss to the Eagles, as McVay alluded to himself, but they came back to L.A. with the team on Sunday.

During McVay’s post-game press conference after the Los Angeles Rams topped the Indianapolis Colts, he...

When the NFL schedule was first released, no one realistically thought the Indianapolis Colts would start the season 3-0 and challenge the Los Angeles Rams on the road. The league is full of surprises, and we saw many on Sunday as the Rams scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to come from behind and take down Indianapolis. LA advances to 3-1 on the season and keeps pace with two other 3-1 teams in the NFC West.

The victory took strong performances from unexpected individuals, and huge production from those who seem to step up every single week.

A wide receiver has never won the NFL MVP award and that’s not going to change this year, but Puka Nacua has been the most valuable player for any team in September and that was proven once again on Sunday during the Rams’ 27-20 win over the Colts. Nacua caught 13 passes for 170 yards, a regular season career-high for a single game, and caught a game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Nacua should be a lock to win his first-ever NFC Offensive Player of the Month award when announcements are made this week, but let’s take it a step...

The Los Angeles Rams (3-1) beat to the Indianapolis Colts (3-1) by a final score of 27-20. This was a hard-fought game between two tough defenses and offenses that offer a lot of promise and it ended up being L.A. who found a way to pull away with Tutu Atwell’s first touchdown of the year.

To start the game, Daniel Jones threw an interception, but the Rams could only muster three points off the turnover, but they did earn the first lead of the day with a 3-0 score.

The Colts responded quickly to tie the game at 3-3, before...

The Los Angeles Rams lead the Indianapolis Colts by a score 0f 13-10 after the first half of play in what has been a fairly evenly matched game so far.

Daniel Jones threw an interception on his opening drive, but the Colts held the Rams to a field goal. Indianapolis quickly responded with a field goal of their own to tie the game at 3-3.

The Rams ended up putting themselves in a bad situation with a failed Mattew Stafford quarterback sneak (you read that right) and the Colts took advantage with a touchdown with a Tyler Warren rushing score...

The Los Angeles Rams (2-1) host the Indianapolis Colts (3-0) with a 4:05 ET kickoff, and here’s our how to watch guide!

Each franchise has the started the ‘25 season well enough, but the Colts have the edge with an undefeated record as they have looked the part of a good football team in each of their three wins.

Daniel Jones is playing like a MVP, Shane Steichen has been making the right moves (Coach of the Year candidate right now?), and if the Colts win today, they go from a fun story to being looked at as one of...

The Los Angeles Rams have had their cornerbacks room questioned this season, especially since the loss of Ahkello Witherspoon to an injury that could cost him several months, so the topic of trading for someone at the position has come up recently. Could the Rams convince the Seattle Seahawks to send them Riq Woolen before the trade deadline and should they be willing to help a division rival part with a cornerback who they apparently don’t want anymore?

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Sunday morning that the Seahawks cornerback is being “monitored” by other teams on the trade market...

Lost somewhere in the translation of allowing two field goals to be blocked, there has been almost no discussion about how the Rams gave up 26 points in the second half of their loss to the Eagles in Week 3. Of course, we can call the last touchdown allowed on the blocked field goal as a “flukey score” but L.A.’s defense allowed the Eagles offense to score three touchdowns in the second half. That’s a lot of touchdowns.

Those scoring drives:

• 79 yards in less than 3 minutes
• 87 yards in a little over 6 minutes
• 91...

Great slate of games for Week 5, a veritable cornucopia of major showdowns. Mid-season already looms. For some, playoff aspirations will be fortified, but for others, the bottom will start to drop out. Who will be the big winners? Tell us about the games and/or prospects you’ll be rooting for. Don’t forget the losers!

Here’s a handful of matchups TST will be following, but there are dozens more to comment on.

Every week, the SB Nation Reacts poll seeks to find out how many Rams fans are confident in the direction of the Rams. But there was another question this week and not just for Rams fans: NFL fans were asked if they think that the Rams are a good team this season and the reaction was mostly positive.

In the survey, 86% of fans said that yes, they believe the Rams are a good team. Do you agree with that number? Should it be higher or lower?

Believe it or not, it’s actually higher than the number of Rams fans...

After consecutive road games, the 2-1 Los Angeles Rams return to home-cooking at SoFi Stadium for a Sunday, September 28 tilt with the unbeaten Indianapolis Colts. Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. PST. Although Indy leads the all-time series 23-22-2, L.A. has won the last four meetings and provided Sean McVay his first home victory as the Rams head coach back in 2017.

Indianapolis has been one of the 2025 season’s surprise teams, trekking west with a 3-0 record. They knocked off the Miami Dolphins in the league opener 33-8, followed it by eking out a 29-28 win over the...

Based on comments and interactions I have had here at Turf Show Times, I am under the impression that many of us think the Los Angeles Rams have some of the best depth they have had in the Sean McVay era, but was that a mistake?

Ahkello Witherspoon has been out and the Rams haven’t been able to replace him. L.A. has been without Steve Avilla (I think he is expected back this week) and Kevin Dotson and the o-line has suffered. If this team loses Puka Nacua, then what? He’s been the passing game, really.

So, it’s early, and...
