Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 11/19/24
Beaux Limmer was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the sixth round of the latest NFL Draft. Did LA know at the time that Limmer would be their best option to start at center? I don’t think they did, and LA even tried something different in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins (you can read more about who replaced Limmer in that game here) as they let Limmer observe on the sideline. Well in Week 11 Beaux was back on the field and he made a case that he should stay...

Will CJ Stroud and the Texans beat the Cowboys on Monday Night?
On paper coming into the season, a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans looked to be a fun one. Now, with the Cowboys struggling and Cooper Rush at quarterback, the outlook of this game has shifted. At the same time, the Texans haven’t been the juggernaut of a team that many expected as well.
The Texans come into this game having blown a big lead to the Detroit Lions last week. Jared Goff threw five interceptions in that game, but CJ Stroud had a few loose...

The Rams signed 2 free agent guards to big contracts, but one deal was much better for the player
Benching Jonah Jackson for Beaux Limmer wasn’t in L.A.’s plans when the season started, but clearly the Rams were more weary in that $17 million guard than they were in keeping Kevin Dotson for the same amount of money. Because the two guards didn’t actually get the same amount of money:
Okay, it looks to be the...

The Rams knew what the Patriots wanted to do and beat them at their own game
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo had a one-note gameplan meant to bother and disrupt Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and it was a complete failure:

Rams are losing faith in Josh Karty and destroying his confidence at the same time
The best coaches help players reach their maximum potential.
Sean McVay has reached that pinnacle at times for the Los Angeles Rams. He helped Matthew Stafford play the best football of his career en route to winning Super Bowl LVI. The Rams continually find players like Kyren Williams, Jaylen McCollough, and Beaux Limmer that were unheralded out of college but carve out meaningful NFL careers.
But there have been times where McVay has been too harsh on his players and risked destroying their confidence.

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 11/18/24
Matthew Stafford broke a passing touchdown record in the Los Angeles Rams victory over the New England Patriots this past Sunday. It’s a great record for the quarterback to earn, and he must’ve been happier earning it while also getting a win for his team. Say what you want about Stafford, say his play is down, say he misses some throws, but he still has the ability to absolutely sling it around. He did exactly that on Sunday.
Happy victory Monday Rams’ fans! Please comment on whatever you’d like and have a...

Can Joe Burrow lead the Bengals to a big win in primetime against the Chargers?
The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Chargers will wrap up the Sunday slate in Week 11. A game that was originally scheduled to play earlier in the day that was flexed into Sunday Night, this should be a great matchup between two AFC contenders. The Chargers come in at 6-3 while the Bengals are 4-6, but playing much better than their record suggests.
Through 10 games, the Bengals have had a very up and down start to their season. They’ve come up on the wrong...

The L.A. Rams will be out for revenge in Week 12 as they host the red-hot Philadelphia Eagles, with the Rams a 3-point underdog at FanDuel Sportsbook. LA lost 23-14 to the Eagles in October 2023 to spoil Cooper Kupp’s first game of the season after being activated off IR.
The Rams rebounded from an ugly showing on MNF by defeating the Patriots 28-22 in Foxborough. Matthew Stafford threw 4 touchdown passes in a spectacular performance. Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp combined for 13 catches for 230 yards...
