"Blake Corum had just completed the first 100-yard rushing performance of his NFL career, and Rams coach Sean McVay awarded him a game ball after Sunday's rout of the Arizona Cardinals. Corum, a second-year pro, was obviously elated. But he did not spend much time reveling in the achievement. "It's on to the next," he said, an attitude he maintained as he filtered through congratulatory messages from family and friends."
""I expect to have those types of games," Corum said Wednesday, "so when they do happen, all right, this is great. ... But it's on to the next." The Rams offense is coming off a high-flying 45-point performance against the Cardinals. Receiver Puka Nacua was named NFC offensive player of the week. Quarterback Matthew Stafford got back on track for a run at the league's most valuable player award."
"As the Rams can attest - based on their defeats by the Lions in the 2023 playoffs and the 2024 season opener - the Lions feature one of the NFL's best running back combinations in Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. But the Rams have made strides to develop a similarly complementary pair in Kyren Williams and Corum. Williams, 25, has rushed for 952 yards and eight touchdowns in 196 carries. He also has 26 receptions for 197 yards and three touchdowns."
Blake Corum rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns in his first 100-yard NFL game and received a game ball from coach Sean McVay. Corum downplayed the milestone and said he expects similar performances while staying focused on the next challenge. The Rams scored 45 points against the Cardinals, Puka Nacua earned NFC offensive player of the week, and Matthew Stafford regained form. The rushing attack produced another strong outing, with Kyren Williams totaling 952 yards and eight touchdowns plus notable receiving production. A victory over Detroit would clinch a playoff spot and strengthen the team's Super Bowl standing.
