INGLEWOOD, CA– Regardless of their disappointing 2024 season so far, anytime the Las Vegas Raiders come to town it’s a big deal. Sunday afternoon at SoFi Stadium was no exception, as the Los Angeles Rams held off the Las Vegas Raiders, 20-15.
The Rams defense was ferocious in the Victory, improving to a mark of 2-4. A chance to play against the Raiders’ subpar offense run by its backup quarterback was the perfect antidote.
Kam Curl returned a fumble 33 yards for a touchdown and Kyren Williams rushed for 76 yards and two scores in the Rams ‘victory over Las Vegas on Sunday, October 20th.
Cobie Durant had an interception and later caused the fumble returned for a TD by Curl for the Rams (2-4), who forced Gardner Minshew to commit four turnovers — the same number harvested by Los Angeles in its first five games of the season combined.
The emphasis on attacking the ball was at an all-time high today,” Durant said. “All week we emphasized it, and it displayed today. What a great day it is to attack the ball!”
The Raiders’ backup QB was forced into action by an early hand injury for Aidan O’Connell, and the Rams pounced. Jaylen McCollough had two more interceptions for Los Angeles, including the game-clinching pick with 1:18 to play.
Matthew Stafford passed for 154 yards — his lowest total in four seasons with Los Angeles — as the Rams snapped a two-game skid during their worst start to a season in coach Sean McVay’s eight years in charge.
No time to rest for the Rams. On Thursday night, the Rams will host Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings. It will be a tough test, since the Vikings are one of the NFL’s premiere teams. Kickoff is 5:15 pm on Thursday.
