    Rams, Chiefs total 3 defensive TDs on MNF, led by Samson Ebukam’s 2

    Lindsey Thiry

    http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25328237/samson-ebukam-leads-way-los-angeles-rams-kansas-city-chiefs-combine-3-defensive-tds-mnf

    LOS ANGELES — Monday night’s showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs was supposed to be all about offense.

    Then the Rams’ defense showed up.

    Outside linebacker Samson Ebukam and defensive tackle Aaron Donald wreaked havoc for Patrick Mahomes, as the Rams scored 21 points on turnovers through three quarters and defeated the Chiefs 54-51 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

    Ebukam also delivered pressure that resulted in two late interceptions thrown by Mahomes, one to Marcus Peters and another to Lamarcus Joyner.

    The Rams’ 21 points off turnovers were as many as the Chiefs had allowed all season.

    The Chiefs also scored a defensive touchdown when defensive end Allen Bailey returned a fumble 2 yards for a score.

    The three defensive touchdowns were the most in a single game since Week 6 of 2017, when the New Orleans Saints (three) and Detroit Lions (one) combined for four, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

    “We just doing our job, playing good team football,” Donald said. “And staying together.”

    Monday night’s high-scoring contest accounted for the most combined points in any game this season.

    “They were scoring, we were scoring,” Jared Goff said. “You think it’s whoever has the ball last, and then we get two turnovers at the end. It was an insane game.”

    Ebukam recorded the first fumble recovery and interception of his career, and he returned both for touchdowns. A second-year pro from Eastern Washington University, Ebukam became only the third player in Monday Night Football history with multiple defensive touchdowns in a game, according to Elias Sports Bureau research. He joins the Seattle Seahawks’ Andre Dyson in 2005 and the Miami Dolphins’ Dick Anderson in 1973.

    Ebukam became the first player since sacks became official in 1982 with a sack, interception and multiple touchdowns in a single game, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

    “I was so happy for him, for a guy like that, who puts in all the hard work,” defensive lineman Michael Brockers said. “He comes in ready to work every day. I’m proud of him.”

    Entering Monday night’s game, Donald had not recorded a strip sack. Then the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year recorded two against Mahomes, who previously had not lost a fumble in his career.

    “Just making my plays when they presented themselves,” Donald said. “And just trying to help my team to win.”

    Donald strip-sacked Mahomes and Ebukam scooped up the ball and returned it 11 yards for a touchdown to give the Rams a 23-17 lead late in the first half.

    In the third quarter, Donald once again strip-sacked Mahomes and rookie John Franklin-Myers recovered the ball. Four plays later, Goff scored on a 7-yard run, and the Rams led 30-23.

    Later in the third, Ebukam tipped a Mahomes pass to himself, then rumbled 25 yards for a touchdown, as 77,072 fans in the Coliseum roared to their feet as the Rams went up 40-30.

    “Two touchdowns, I ain’t got one in five years!” Donald said, smiling. “He got two in one game, but that’s what it’s about when you have playmakers and when you got a team like this, that at any time can make the big plays.”

    Ebukam laughed after the game and said the last time he scored two touchdowns was in high school, when he played running back.

    “I just kept playing hard, kept being myself, kept poised and just kept going,” Ebukam said.

    The Chiefs got into the defensive-scoring action in the fourth quarter, when outside linebacker Justin Houston strip-sacked Goff, and defensive end Bailey returned the fumble 2 yards to give the Chiefs a 44-40 lead with 11:07 remaining in the game.

    McVay was asked if the Colorado Springs altitude training helped the Rams: “You’d have to talk to the players. If anything, it makes you wonder, did that make us cramp a little bit?” McVay was using his…I’m joking, but not really joking, voice.

    Rams’ Jared Goff bests Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes in epic duel

    Michael Silver

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000990563/article/rams-jared-goff-bests-chiefs-patrick-mahomes-in-epic-duel

    LOS ANGELES — Patrick Mahomes reached down to take the snap, faked a handoff to halfback Kareem Hunt and dropped back deep in the pocket, his eyes staring westbound across the grassy field that had served as his personal landscape. With 1:28 left in a surreal game that had sapped the emotional energy from 77,002 fans at the L.A. Coliseum and millions of “Monday Night Football” viewers, the Kansas City Chiefs’ freakishly fabulous second-year quarterback was looking for an opening — and then, in a flash, he spotted it: wide receiver Chris Conley slicing through the Rams’ secondary, running left to right 20 yards from the end zone with two steps on his defender and nothing but green in front of him.

    So Mahomes wound up and prepared to do what he, only 12 starts into his career, currently does as impressively as any passer in the land — uncork a precise and powerful spiral toward a moving target. One of the most epic regular-season games in league history was there for the taking, and Mahomes was sure he had seized it. On a night when he and his counterpart, the Rams’ Jared Goff, had painted the Southern California sky with pinpoint passes, this would be his masterpiece.

    “I had him coming across,” Mahomes said later, as he stood outside the cramped visitors’ locker room at the Coliseum, waiting to address a group of reporters inside an interview tent following the Rams’ 54-51 (not a typo; you read that right) victory. “He settled down and found an opening, and I would have gotten it there, but I got hit — and it went straight to Marcus.”

    As Mahomes stepped into his throw, Rams linebacker Samson Ebukam capped a phenomenal performance by slipping inside K.C. tight end Travis Kelce and lunging across the quarterback’s body, draping his left arm across Mahomes’ throwing shoulder as it released the ball. That turned the pass into a pop fly, and as fate would have it, the ball headed toward the waiting arms of Marcus Peters, the former Chiefs corner who was traded to the Rams in February and has struggled to regain his All-Pro form.

    “All I thought was, Don’t drop that mother——!” Peters said shortly before leaving the stadium. “It felt good. It felt real good. You’ve gotta take the good with the bad — all of it — and when you get that ‘W,’ it all pays off. But man, this game was wild. That was some s—. I mean, that was some s—!’

    What he said.

    If this marquee Monday night matchup between two teams with high-octane offenses and 9-1 records had merely lived up to billing, it would have been a great night in the professional sports universe. In truth, it was way, way better than advertised.

    Originally scheduled to take place in Mexico City, the game was relocated to L.A. after NFL officials deemed the grass at Azteca Stadium to be unplayable. Thus, a raucous Coliseum crowd was treated to three hours and 42 minutes’ worth of head-spinning emocion, with 105 total points (the third-most in league history), 1,001 combined yards and six lead changes, including four in the fourth quarter.

    And amazingly, despite an offensive orgy that shattered records — and produced the first-ever NFL final score in which each team had at least 50 points — there were a slew of game-turning defensive plays that served as checks and balances against these seemingly unstoppable offenses.

    “It was a crazy, crazy game,” said Mahomes, who completed 33 of 46 passes for 478 yards and six touchdowns, but also was responsible for five turnovers. “All that offense, and both defenses made plays that were huge momentum-changers. I basically gave them 21 points — and you can’t do that against a great team like that, or you’ll pay.”

    That’s especially true when the opposing quarterback, Goff, is positively golden — as was the case once again on Monday. Now in his third NFL season, the former Cal star and No. 1 overall draft pick has quietly become one of the league’s best passers, and he was money against the Chiefs, completing 31 of 49 throws for 413 yards and four touchdowns — including the exquisite game-winner, a 40-yard, over-the-shoulder beauty to tight end Gerald Everett down the right sideline with 1:49 remaining.

    Going into Monday’s game, it was presumed that the two leading MVP contenders, by far, were Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Mahomes, who would push his league-leading touchdown pass total to 37 by night’s end. Perhaps it’s time to add Goff’s name to the list and make this a three-man race, especially if the Rams (10-1) keep ripping through opposing secondaries.

    Make no mistake, however: This victory over the Chiefs (9-2) required some big, big plays by Peters and his fellow defenders: Most notably Ebukam, who had a breakout game, and defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who seems to have one every weekend.

    After jumping out to a 13-0 lead, the Rams trailed 17-16 late in the first half when Donald blasted into the pocket and strip-sacked Mahomes. Ebukam, a fourth-round pick out of Eastern Washington in 2017, scooped up the ball and raced 11 yards for a touchdown.

    Each player was far from done: On the Chiefs’ first drive of the second half, Donald did it again, sacking Mahomes and dislodging the ball, with teammate John Franklin-Myers recovering at the Chiefs’ 46-yard-line. Donald, who pushed his league-leading sack total to 14.5, is running away with his second consecutive NFL Defensive Player of the Year award — and if another contender were to attempt to seize the trophy, Donald would probably knock it out of his hands.

    Eight plays after Donald’s second strip-sack, Goff felt pressure in the pocket and surprised everyone by taking off through a deserted middle of the field and running 7 yards for a touchdown, giving the Rams a 30-23 lead.

    Then, with the Rams up 33-30 late in the third quarter, Mahomes’ short pass for tight end Demetrius Harris was snatched out of the air by Ebukam and returned 25 yards for a touchdown.

    “Hey, everybody did their thing today — that’s what it’s all about,” Donald said as he headed up the tunnel and out of the stadium. “That’s team football. It’s huge, ’cause that’s what you need against an explosive offense like this, and a quarterback like this. He’s a heck of a football player.”

    Apparently, Donald — who in late August signed a six-year, $135 million contract extension that made him the highest-paid defensive player in league history (a total eclipsed shortly thereafter by Chicago Bears edge rusher Khalil Mack) — doesn’t subscribe to the stereotype of interior linemen getting massive paydays and then, in a relative sense, chilling.

    “Ain’t no chill,” Donald said, laughing.

    Said one of the men assigned to block him, Chiefs right tackle Mitchell Schwartz: “You know he’s usually gonna get one or two big plays; you try to limit the strips and turnovers. He’s the highest-paid guy at his positon of all time, and deservedly so — and he’s the rare guy who gets record money and is underpaid. It’s tough. That dude’s a freak.”

    So, too, is Mahomes, who benefited from a couple of big plays by the Chiefs’ defense. The first came with 6:50 remaining in the second quarter, when defensive end Allen Bailey sacked Goff, forced a fumble and recovered it. Mahomes and Hunt connected for a 21-yard touchdown on the next play, putting the Chiefs up 17-16.

    Then, with 11:16 left in the game, K.C. linebacker Justin Houston pummeled Goff at the 3-yard line and dislodged the ball, and Bailey snatched it off of Houston’s back and cruised into the end zone, giving the Chiefs a 44-40 lead.

    Two Goff-to-Everett touchdown passes later, with a Mahomes-to-Conley score sandwiched in between, and the stage was set for a Kansas City comeback. Peters’ interception squelched it, but not permanently: The Chiefs forced a three-and-out, giving Mahomes one last chance, as K.C. took possession at its own 12 with one timeout and 50 seconds remaining.

    The suspense finally ended when Mahomes, from his own 26, threw a desperation pass toward speedy target Tyreek Hill (10 catches, 215 yards, two touchdowns) that was picked off by safety Lamarcus Joyner.

    “We should’ve closed out the game after Marcus’ interception — I was sick that we didn’t,” Goff said. “We put our defense in a bad position, and they made plays, just like they had all day.”

    For what it’s worth, you can count Goff among the growing legion of Mahomes fans.

    “He’s incredible,” Goff said. “He’s the toughest guy in the NFL to defend right now, including Drew (Brees).”

    He’ll get no argument from Peters, who got a glimpse of Mahomes’ potential last year while playing against him in practice. Mahomes, who backed up Alex Smith, typically quarterbacked the scout team before starting the final game of the regular season, when the Chiefs had already clinched a playoff berth.

    Did Peters know how ridiculously good the young quarterback was a year ago?

    “F— yeah,” Peters said. “It’s crazy. He used to throw insane passes in practice without even looking. He’s gonna be special. Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton (Manning) — you name it, he’s gonna up there … right along with Jared Goff.”

    On a night full of superlative performances, such over-the-top praise didn’t seem like hyperbole. This was a special football game that left both teams drained as they headed into their respective bye weeks — and underscored the notion that the only way for opponents to combat such explosive offenses is try to keep pace, get some game-turning plays on defense and hope that the onslaught doesn’t overwhelm.

    “I’m really tired,” Schwartz said as he prepared to head to the team bus. “I know this game was supposed to be played in Mexico, and I’m pretty glad it wasn’t at 9,000 feet, because I’m not sure I could have made it through.”

    A few seconds later, Goff emerged from the locker room and stopped to greet Schwartz, his fellow Cal alum. They talked for a couple of minutes and posed for a photo, and neither player seemed bothered by keeping the interaction brief.

    “I’m exhausted,” Goff said.

    So, too, was a football-watching nation.

    A few impressions. Jist summ thotz.

    * credit where it’s due: Mahomes is a monster. I had seen him before (highlights, snatches of games) making impossible throws, and he lived up to it. It’s like someone put Marino in Favre’s body.

    * Goff was “off” a bit here and there, which I am starting to think will be a regular thing, but not a huge flaw. But last night he had his usual share of the usual “whoa did ya see that” throws that are just freaky for their timing, accuracy, and placement. That will always be the thing with him. He has a long list of traits you want in your qb, but those uncanny throws are the signature thing.

    * On the Donald strip sack Ebukam recovered for a TD, watch Donald. He was in the air when he hit Mahomes’ arm. He hurled himself at the qb and his legs are a couple of feet off the ground when his arm hits the qb’s arm. It’s like he said, Mr. and Mrs. Kent said don’t show my real powers to the humans, but I can fly dammit so I will this one time. He hit the ball out while flying through the air.

    * The Ebukam INT. He is being mauled by a lineman, reaches up and bats the pass to himself, then catches it one handed, all in a split second. I have never seen any play quite like it, not in 4,456 or so years of watching NFL football. KC is a load and a half and you have to make some extraordinary plays to beat them, and that was one.

    * Speaking of making plays. Last year when the Rams lost to Seattle in LA, I posted about how Thomas swatted the ball away when Gurley dove for the TD, and how Seattle always just seemed to make plays. I said the Rams need to be like that. And darned if they didn’t morph into exactly that. From getting 1st downs on 3rd and long that you just don’t expect them to make, to Ebukam batting a pass to himself the way he did, and so on. No matter what else goes on, they make plays throughout a game.

    * One example of just rising to the occasion–Everett maintaining his balanced while avoiding the out of bounds line running at full speed on his TD. Very athletic moment.

    * This is a 4th quarter team. Looking just at 2017/18, Goff has now been in 8 comeback situations and the Rams won 4 of them. It’s hard to find career percentages on qbs in comeback situations, but last year I posted a chart showing that as of 2017. There were only 3 qbs at 50% or better (though better was not higher than 53%). Those qbs were Brady, Luck, and Wilson. So far, in just 8 opportunities, with 50% wins in that situation, Goff has joined that company. That’s quite something. And the defense? Look at the last 4 games. Rodgers had a chance to put that game away with 6:49 left and that series ended with a sack and punt. Wilson had the ball at the end of that game with a chance to come from behind and was pressured into some incompletions. Mahomes had the ball twice at the end of that game with a chance to come back and was intercepted. Brees came though in that game, but that is still 3 out of 4 against top qbs.

    There’s more, as you might imagine, but, enough for now.

    Also from #Rams Sean McVay: He’s pretty much ready for a nap. Said he had some friends over to the house after the game last night and that he was pretty much wired up. I think he speaks for everyone when he says he’s looking forward to some rest

    Sean McVay said #Chiefs were playing zero coverage on #Rams last drive essentially daring Rams to run it. The result is a numbers game in favor of the defense that makes it practically a tackling drill. He felt throwing it would put Rams in better position to pick up the 1st down

    Watching replay of the Monday night game, and I have counted 147 different pronunciations of Ebukam.

    I predicted Chiefs would win because I thought they’d jump to an early lead and put Rams in catch-up mode. That’s been their m.o. all year. But even when Rams trailed, the game never got out of arm’s length. That was big.

    I know they’ll give NFL MVP to a QB, but the things Aaron Donald is doing, especially at his position, just aren’t human.

    If you were to start the league over from scratch, and every player on the planet was Draft-eligible…There’s a very legitimate case to be made for taking Aaron Donald at #1.

    Just updated by @fboutsiders, here are the #LARams (10-1) odds following Monday Night Football.

    1-seed: 54.6% (up 12.4%)
    Bye: 94.4% (up 6%)
    Division: 100% (same)

    Sean McVay’s closing thoughts as Rams go into bye week: “I wouldn’t be upset if Panthers came away with a big win.”

    A Panthers win over Seahawks = Rams clinch NFC West
