Rams defense gives up their first TD of the day with 8:30 left to go in the fourth quarter.Outstanding performance from Raheem Morris’ group today.

Rams QB Baker Mayfield said P Riley Dixon told him postgame that it was his first no-punt game of his career.Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Bobby Wagner has now recorded at least one sack and one interception in games against his former team (Seattle) or former quarterback (Wilson).Albert Breer@AlbertBreer
Hard to miss how much better Baker Mayfield (with 3 weeks in that offense, and the Rams’ top two WRs out) looks than Russell Wilson (in an offense that was built over an entire offseason by/for him).Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Seven scores on seven drives.This is an offense that entered the game with the fourth-worst three-and-out rate in the NFL. Balanced and efficient job today, minus a ton of starters and against a prev. good defense.

First regular season game the Rams surpassed 50 points since their Monday Night Football thriller against the Chiefs in Week 11 of 2018 season.

Good win!

Without Skowronek available, Rams going a little more to Hopkins in some of the mixed looks in run-blocking.Similar defensive ethos between both teams today, obviously each with its
own key personnel and evolutions. Talked a lot with McVay, OC Coen and Mayfield this week about the importance of taking the underneath stuff against that ethos. Mayfield (he will be first to admit) has
struggled with that in 2022 overall. He is throwing passes short of the sticks at a 10% higher frequency this season, but has a career-low 11.6% off-target rate on those throws, 33/36 QBs (@TruMediaSports h/t @aaronjreiss). Making those throws is needed with where the Rams are
limited in personnel at WR and OL, and in this offense helps with timing. McVay mentioned being cognizant of where underneath levels are being schemed on 3-level throws. Coen said coaches need to continue to create clarity there because they need that type of rhythm and down
management (especially as they’re limited elsewhere). Mayfield says he needs to “accept what the defense gives him.” Structures like this can be a 10,000-paper-cuts deal and patience and consistency (including in the calls) are elements not frequented by Rams offense this year.
That’s also a fancy way of saying, “stick with the run a little, eh?” – Broncos defense is very good but No. 16 in YPC and EPA/rush vs. run game
znModeratorI can't believe this, but the Broncos' season got even worse. Whatever else can be said, this is true: The Russell Wilson problem is going to affect the franchise for multiple years. It's not going away. This is one awful spot for a franchise to be in. https://t.co/68JBZkXRD7

znModeratorNo stent for me yet. Glad it worked out, zn.
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. But to be honest, the way the medical situation works, if a stent is not going to work, they know it in advance, and what they do then is step up to bypass surgery. So unless the surgeon is mind-numbingly incompetent, stents just work–if they aren’t going to work they know that beforehand and skip the stent and instead schedule a bypass.

znModeratorSosa Kremenjas@QBsMVPRussell Wilson has been getting owned by this franchise for a decade.J.B. Long@JB_LongPoints on every offensive drive for the Rams in a Christmas win over the Broncos. We’ve been looking and have yet to find another instance of that..Baker Mayfield 4 incompletions in today’s win (24/28). Rams defense with 4 interceptions of Broncos QBs..Rams scored more touchdowns off takeaways in that first quarter (2) than they had all season prior (1). INTs for Durant & Wagner. TDs for Higbee & Akers. Gay good from 55 yards. First time Rams have scored 17+ in opening 3 possessions this year..Rams match their season-high in scoring (31 points vs ATL) in the first half against the Broncos. 2 TD for Akers 2 TD for Higbee 55-yarder for Gay.To all you saying “the Broncos, the Broncos…” Denver an elite defensive unit, any way you slice it. No. 1 against the pass. Rams averaging 6.8 yards per play. Mayfield 12/13 and his only miss he threw off the crossbar on purpose..Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueMatt Gay hits his 53-yard field goal attempt. Seventh kick of 50-plus yards this season. Matt Gay is a good kicker..TurfShowTimes@TurfShowTimesBaker Mayfield is 24/28 for 230 yards, 2 TD If it holds, Mayfield ties @Jim_Everett for the 2nd-highest completion% (85.7) in @RamsNFL history on a minimum of 20 attempts. Kurt Warner (20 of 23) would be only one higher. 85.7% would be highest for 28+ attempts

Rams HC Sean McVay asked if QB Baker Mayfield is living up to his expectations for him or better: “Probably better.”.Sean McVay on Bobby Wagner: “His consistency says everything you need to know about him as a human being.”.Cameron DaSilva@camdasilvaLarrell Murchison had more sacks today (2.5) in his Rams debut than Lewis and Hollins had combined this season (2.0).TurfShowTimes@TurfShowTimesBest FG% in Rams history, minimum of 20 attempts: 1. Greg Zuerlein, 38/40 (2017) 2. Matt Gay, 32/34 (2021) 3. Jeff Wilkins, 39/42 (2003) 4. Greg Zuerlein, 26/28 (2013) 5. Matt Gay, 22/24 (2022)
znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueThe Rams are missing nine starters on both sides of the ball. Today they beat the Broncos 51-14..Hell of a Rams debut for Larrell Murchison – 2.5 sacks, 2 TFL – but he’s walking off the field under his own power with athletic trainers..Greg Gabriel@ggabefootballWord around the League is that the new ownership in Denver will do a complete house cleaning as soon as season ends.A high level executive told me 2 years ago that without a strong run game and strong defense to help, Russell Wilson can’t be successful. He was right.Blaine Grisak@bgrisakDTRBefore anyone says, “it’s just the Broncos”. Denver has the number three defense in EPA. This is a complete team win. At 4-10, do we really need to qualify wins like this? Enjoy it..

znModeratorWho among us hasn’t had a few stents, ammirite? (Glad your well. This was a bit startling, as I’m sure it was for you.) Merry Christmas.
Well it helped that I live with an RN. We caught it very early. I had chest pains, and they weren’t awful, just concerning, and it came with shortness of breath. She took a look at me, stethoscope and all, and then called 911 without even asking or announcing it. Just boom, call, ambulence, with her saying “be sure and take your phone and charger to the hospital honey” before I had said a word (“hospital??”) The dead giveaway was when the EMS guys in the ambulence gave me nitro and the pain immediately went away. That could only mean one thing. Nitro opens up arteries, so that means the pain was from blockage. At the hospital they tested me, none of it too arduous or painful, then they scheduled me for surgery and put in a stent. The stay wasn’t too bad–I had a good book with me (“Station 11”). People say I hope you have a good recovery but honestly it’s not like that, there’s no recovery per se–you don’t want to run a marathon quite yet but day to day is just normal, it’s more like replacing a sparkplug than repairing a damaged engine.
And here I babble on. Have you had a stent? Who else has had a stent?
Merry Christmas.
znModeratorYou are still a force of nature, my friend. Glad you are doing well. m
Nature hasn’t been too good to me though. But then also not spectacularly awful either.
And honest thanks for the kind regards.

znModeratorI’m home. It was tedious being hospitalized for 4 days but I went from concerning chest pains to having a stent put it in, and here I am, not the least bit worse for wear and with a heart condition we caught very early and was fixed very well.
I appreciate the posts guys.
znModeratorthat’s great to hear ZN. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
my understanding of this is that recovery is basically just taking the right meds and being steadily healthy for months so it’s not like an invasive surgery it’s not quite like other things
znModeratorWell I’m done got a painless easy operation ended up with a stent don’t know when I’ll be released could be tonight could be tomorrow but basically it’s all fine
znModeratorStill haven’t had the surgery yet I’m scheduled for tomorrow morning
znModeratorHi I have a request from the hospital it would be very entertaining if you guys would talk football
znModeratorWell I stay for a procedure…blockage…not a dire situation but the procedure is needed
znModeratorWill know soon…i leave or have a procedure
znModeratorI have my phone ….big test is in morning to see if I have blockage…had nitro in ambulance it helped

znModeratorFishkiller@FV_Mylia_LynnCardinals loss / Broncos win is a win-win for me. I don’t like the Cardinals & every Broncos win lowers the Seahawks draft pick. I want the Broncos to win out (except for when they play the Rams of course).
znModeratortrey wingo@wingozWhat happened to the @Buccaneers shouldn’t surprise anyone. It’s what happens the game after you play the @49ers. This season teams the game after they play San Fran are 1-12 on the season. Niners beat you up -
