Odd game. Stafford only passes for 182 yards — but gets 5 TD passes.

Rams only get 271 yards on offense. Jags have 358.
And yet, the Rams had 5 more first downs — 26 to 21.

Rams had 7 sacks. Jags had zero.

Jags had 13 penalties. I believe two of those wiped out 14 points for the Jags.
Rams had 5 penalties.

Jags looked like they were out of sync all day. They fell down, dropped passes, missed open receivers.

I dunno what the hell that was. 5-2. Could be 7-0.

The Jaguars listed Travon Walker as full, Robert Hainsey as limited

The Jaguars posted their initial injury report for Week 7. To nobody’s surprise, linebacker Devin Lloyd and tight end Quintin Morris won’t be available. Before the team flew to London, both of them had been ruled out.

Ventrell Miller, a third-round pick in 2023, will fill in for Lloyd. On the other hand, there’s a strong chance that Jacksonville will promote tight end Jordan Atkins to the active roster via standard elevation after signing him before making the trip. If he suits up, he’ll be behind Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long on the depth chart.

For the moment, though, Lloyd and Morris are the only players who won’t suit up. Center Robert Hainsey got the limited designation while he recovers from a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5. Rookie Jonah Monheim stepped in his place and got the starting nod against the Seattle Seahawks.

If Hainsey isn’t good to go, Monheim will make his second start in a row. It’s important to note that the Jaguars gave up seven sacks and 33 total pressures in the loss to Seattle. However, Monheim only allowed one pressure. Based on his promising outing, it’s possible that the coaching staff may not be in a hurry to get Hainsey back on the field in Week 7.

Apart from Hainsey, safety Eric Murray (neck) and wide receiver Dyami Brown (wide receiver) were limited in practice. Then again, they’ve previously popped up on the injury report but still played, so both of them should be good to go against the Rams.

The biggest news from the injury report, though, is probably that Travon Walker was a full participant in practice. The former Georgia Bulldog is dealing with a wrist injury. He underwent surgery before Week 5 and missed a game. Walker returned for the Seahawks game but was on a snap count. Having more time to recover, he could have a bigger role against the Rams.

Having Travon Walker is huge, but the Jaguars O-Line must play better

The Jaguars should be thrilled that Travon Walker has no restrictions. Having him around will increase the odds of rattling Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. However, the biggest question mark ahead of the game is the offensive line. It may not matter if Robert Hainsey doesn’t suit up, as Jonah Monheim could fill in for him. However, the rest of the group must fare much better after their underwhelming outing in Week 6.

Trevor Lawrence was routinely pressured against the Seahawks, and the Jags couldn’t get the running game going. What’s surprising is that the Jacksonville offensive line was among the best in the NFL early in the season, but somewhere along the way, the unit suffered a steep dropoff. They must buck the trend.

Some interesting stats by Danny Parkins. Christian McCaffrey is having a Faulk-like year, receiving…

Rams are a field goal favorite against the Jags, according to the betting lines.

Brady has the Chiefs as the eighth best team?

I’d say they are still the scariest team in the NFL.

Ugly wins and the Rams

Geez, Atlanta looked like the superior team against Buffalo. Josh Allen was under duress all game long. Sacked 4 times. Falcons now 3-2

Its gotta be infuriating McVay.

Especially since there are so many kickers in the NFL now, who are making 60 yard FGs look routine.

“…The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Baltimore Ravens in week six action. Here are five observations from the game.
1. Matthew Stafford is playing at an MVP level…”

If you compare Goff and Stafford this year, they are pretty similar.
Goff has 12 TDs and 2 INTs. Stafford has 11 and 2, for example.

This young woman is a force.

———-

The Ravens continued to get healthier Thursday, as two Pro Bowl players returned to practice.

Cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) practiced for the first time this week, while fullback Patrick Ricard (calf) returned for the first time since Aug. 14.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday after not playing against the Texans. Offensive lineman Ben Cleveland was the only new absence.

Humphrey’s presence would be a major boost to Baltimore’s secondary, which will face the high-powered Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.

I get people are mad at Kyren Williams. He’s mad at himself.

But he ranks…

– 6th among NFL RBs in rushing success (TruMedia)
– 6th in 1st Down rate (TruMedia)

While also 5th in carries.

Add in 3rd-down work and he can be a staple.

With one big IF…

Can you win a Ring with a fumbler as your ‘staple’?

To win a ring a team has to win the turnover battle for what, 3 or 4 games in a row through the playoff run. All it takes is one fumble to lose one of those games.

Thats why i never got into the Eric Dickerson love.

At any rate, it seems like teams are getting better at punching out footballs. The technique has been fine tuned, i think.

Man, Baker Mayfield beats the Seahawks with another comeback.

The Bucs are good. Mayfield at times reminds me of Stafford.

And i see the Cards lost to the Titans.

NFL analyst Mark Sanchez arrested while he was hospitalized with stab wounds
October 4, 2025

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez was arrested Saturday after he was apparently stabbed in an overnight altercation in downtown Indianapolis.

Sanchez, who was in Indianapolis to call Sunday’s Raiders-Colts game, was charged with battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication — all misdemeanors.

Indianapolis police said Sanchez was in a hospital and had not been booked into a detention center. He was in stable condition, according to Fox Sports.

Police said the Marion County prosecutor’s office would make the final charging decision. That office didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry from The Associated Press.

Indianapolis police said earlier in the day that they were investigating a confrontation that occurred around 12:30 a.m. Saturday between two men, one of whom was hospitalized with stab wounds. The other man received treatment for lacerations, police said.

1989 vs SF MNF

That loss was worse.

The Rams fumbled on the goal line, missed an FG, allowed two 80+ yard TD passes and blew a 17 point lead in Anaheim.

That loss cost the RAMS HFA in the 1989 playoffs resulting in the phantom sack in Candlestick that spiraled the Rams into 1990’s oblivion and off to STL.

Yeah, i remember that one. Its in the top ten for sure, but the 49ers didnt go into that game crippled, missing stars, with a backup QB.
And this game might well cost the Rams HFA down the road, too.
