    from 10 Most Memorable “Monday Night Football” Games of All Time
    https://ramsondemand.com/threads/10-most-memorable-mnf-games-of-all-time.61531/

    4. Los Angeles Rams 54, Kansas City Chiefs 51
    Nov. 19, 2018 — Los Angeles

    Both the Chiefs and Rams entered the game at 9-1 with high-powered offenses. In the highest-scoring affair in “Monday Night Football” history, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit Chris Conley with a 10-yard touchdown pass to take a 51-47 lead with less than three minutes to go. L.A. responded with a 40-yard strike from Jared Goff to Gerald Everett for the win less than a minute later. This game was originally supposed to be played in Mexico City but had to be relocated due to poor field conditions.

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2020/06/06/rams-bengals-andrew-whitworth-retirement/

    Whitworth originally planned to retire as a member of the Bengals when he left Cincinnati for Los Angeles, but he’s undecided. He talked about the decision he still has to make with former Bengals tackle Willie Anderson.

    “Yeah, when I left there, that was really kind of the intention,” Whitworth said. “Obviously, whenever I’m done playing, that’ll be the decision I’ll make at that time. But yeah, at that time when I left there, that was kind of the intention. And that was really the only thing that – Mike [Mike Brown, Bengals owner & de facto GM] was obviously not happy when I left – but that was really something that was important to him ask me about whenever I actually signed with the Rams.”

    Spoke to a few players today about essentially not having OTAs or minicamps… most just genuinely miss seeing their teammates and coaches. As much as the virtual meetings have been fun and different, they just want to be together.

    from FootballOutsiders: Rams QBs make lists of best/worst games of past decade

    https://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2020/quick-reads-decade-review-qb-games

    Best Games:

    4. Jared Goff (RAMS vs MIN, 2018) 26/33, 466 yards, 5 TD/0 INT, 1 sack
    Goff had one stretch over the second and third quarters where he picked up first downs on six straight throws, gaining 151 yards and two touchdowns in the process. Then he had first downs on seven straight throws over the third and fourth quarters, gaining 123 yards and a touchdown. Each of those 13 throws gained at least 11 yards.

    Worst Games:

    7. Nick Foles (RAMS @ GB, 2015) 11/29, 141 yards, 1 TD/4 INT, 3 sacks
    Hoo boy. If opponent adjustments and league baselines hold steady, this will be one of the 25 worst games we’ve ever measured, and the worst since Teddy Bridgewater’s eight-sack day against Detroit in Week 6 last year. (It was not quite as bad as Bridgewater’s game, but it was the 26th-worst game on record.) The Rams seemed to know he was in for a bad day; they only asked him to pass four times on first down, and only once in the first half. Eventually though, they got to third down, and then Foles was screwed. All four of his interceptions came on third downs, and all with 7 to 9 yards to go for a conversion. And they weren’t on deep balls either — all four were thrown to receivers within 7 yards of the line of scrimmage. Two of them came in the red zone in the fourth quarter.

    from POWER RANKING NFL QUARTERBACKS 2020
    Cian Fahey
    https://www.otbsports.com/american-football/power-ranking-nfl-quarterbacks-2020-1027799

    12. Jared Goff

    Stat Caveat: Jared Goff was the eighth-most accurate quarterback in the NFL last season.

    The Los Angeles Rams offence changed dramatically last season. Goff became more of a focal point than a complement. He was asked to carry the offence and that led to a lot more mistakes. But he also showed off improved accuracy, ranking in the top 10 on both intermediate and deep throws, while working the pocket better than he had in previous seasons. Goff ranking 12th in the NFL is more a reflection on the NFL currently being in a position where old quarterbacks have declined and the younger quarterbacks are still developing, or have already failed to develop.
