"Since their October loss to the 49ers, the Rams have won three straight, moving into a tie for first place in the NFC West. Matthew Stafford leads the NFL with 21 touchdown passes to just two interceptions, enjoying one of his most productive stretches of his 17-year career. Davante Adams has become a dangerous red-zone threat, catching five touchdown passes in just the last two games."
"Much has changed for the Rams that defeat. In victories over the Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars and the New Orleans Saints, the Rams offense broadened its scope by utilizing four tight ends, receiver Davante Adams emerged as the hoped-for red-zone threat and quarterback Matthew Stafford is enjoying one of the most productive and efficient stretches of his 17-year career. The Rams have largely shut down three consecutive opponents with a dominant defensive front, a steady linebacker corps and an improving secondary."
"It's been just more than five weeks. But for the Rams that seems like ages ago. On Oct. 2, the San Francisco 49ers came to SoFi Stadium and handed the Rams their second loss in four weeks, a 26-23 overtime defeat on "Thursday Night Football" that ended when the 49ers stopped running back Kyren Williams on fourth and one at the 49ers' 11-yard line."
