"Wake up from your post-World Series slumber, Los Angeles. There's another title contender in town. For anyone else who was too busy following the Dodgers last month to notice what was going on at SoFi Stadium, the Rams are for real. They are first-place real. They could be Super Bowl real. You could feel it in the stands, which literally shook on Sunday when Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers missed a 61-yard field-goal attempt to seal the Rams' 21-19 victory."
"You could feel it in the interview room afterward, the walls penetrated by the bass of the funk music playing in the adjacent dressing quarters. The Rams are only 10 games into a 17-game season so they still have plenty of time to mess this up, but this is what the start of a championship run feels like. This is what the start of a championship run sounds like."
"What was especially awesome about their latest triumph was how un-awesome their quarterback played. Matthew Stafford passed for only 130 yards, completing 15 of 28 passes. A Rams offense that scored 34 or more points in each of their last three games was limited to just three scores. "I don't think anybody's discouraged by what we did on offense today, but it was definitely not to our standard," said receiver Davante Adams, whose only catch was a one-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter."
The Los Angeles Rams beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-19, reinforcing their status as a title contender. The victory featured a strong defensive effort and team depth, offsetting a quiet day from quarterback Matthew Stafford, who completed 15 of 28 passes for 130 yards and avoided turnovers. Kicker Jason Myers missed a 61-yard field-goal attempt that would have sealed the game for Seattle. Receiver Davante Adams had a one-yard touchdown as his only catch. The team generated a championship-like atmosphere at SoFi Stadium and remains first in the standings with seven regular-season games remaining to sustain momentum.
