In the Sean McVay era, the @RamsNFL have lost two division games.

They turned it over five times in the first one (2017 vs Seattle) and rested their starters in the other (2017 vs San Francisco).

Rich Hammond@Rich_Hammond
Jared Goff, Aaron Donald, Andrew Whitworth, Nickell Robey-Coleman, Les Snead and Wade Phillips were among those Rams who had to evacuate their homes on Thursday or Friday. It was a very close call for Snead, in particular.

Sean McVay was REALLY not happy with the personal fouls. He talked for 8-plus minutes and brought them up on his own four times. It’s the most upset I’ve heard him about any single aspect of the Rams’ play.

Benjamin Allbright@AllbrightNFL
Rams fans blaming Wade need to re-check the tape.
It’s execution not coaching.

I love the relationship Sean Mcvay has with his players!
He is upset because he wanted Cooks to get more vertical.
Gives Cook corrections without cussin him out also called a discussion lol.

Then goes right back to Cooks the next drive! #rams #LARams pic.twitter.com/ToITNKrEot

Here’s hoping Cooper Kupp dodged a major leg injury for the second time this season…

The Rams tallied touchdowns from TEs Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee, today. The last time the Rams had two different tight ends score touchdowns in a game was December, 15, 2013, when TEs Cory Harkey and Lance Kendricks each scored touchdowns.

On WR Robert Woods’ 35-yard reception, he set a new single-season career high with 810 yards. His previous high mark was set last season at 781 yards in 12 games played.

RB T. Gurley has scored a scrimmage touchdown in 13-straight regular season games played, a franchise record. He has rushed 12 times for 102 yards in the third quarter. Marks his 16th career game with 100-plus rushing yards and 5th of the season.

With DT A. Donald’s 2nd sack on Wilson, he has set a new single season-high with 12.0 sacks and passed D’Marco Farr (11.5 in 1995) for the most sacks by a Rams DT in a single season.

Greg Beacham@gregbeacham
The Seahawks rushed for a combined 463 yards in their 2 games against the Rams this season, yet still went 0-2.

Downtown Rams@DowntownRams
Half of this organization had to evacuate from the wild fires. This was “hell week” for more than one reason for the #Rams community. They overcame a lot and come away with a huge rivalry win.

Vincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore
#Rams defense has given up 59 points in the last 4 1/2 quarters

Vincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore
Dante Fowler just redeemed himself. Fowler was possessed on that play. You can see as he lined up he was ready to wreak some havoc

Molly Knight@molly_knight
That intentional grounding noncall on Russell Wilson was not as bad as when the refs didn’t give Johnny Hekker a first down last week, but it was close!

J.B. Long@JB_Long
Speaking with Sean McVay, could tell he was relieved and grateful to get the win today after a week unlike any other. However, very displeased with the self-inflicted mistakes. That’s not HOW he wants the @RamsNFL to win games.

“Yeah, I don’t think it’s very good.”

First time the franchise has had back-to-back seasons with a winning record since 2000 and 2001.

Rams and Chiefs both requested to play in Denver the week before having to play in altitude in Mexico City; NFL rejected both requests. Now the Rams will spend this week training at altitude in Colorado Springs, practicing at the Air Force Academy, before traveling to Mexico City

It’s hazy in south L.A. and I’m sure the air quality is far from ideal, but there’s only the very faintest smell of smoke in the air near the Coliseum

California wildfires turn deadly as tens of thousands evacuate

https://www.cbsnews.com/live-news/camp-fire-paradise-california-butte-county-woolsey-chico-wildfire-latest-evacuation-live-updates/

A wildfire has destroyed most of a Northern California town of about 27,000 people. At least nine people were killed by the “Camp Fire” in Paradise, authorities said Friday. The victims have not been identified.

Firefighters across the state were battling three major fires that forced a total of 250,000 residents out of their homes, authorities said. Evacuation orders included the entire city of Malibu, which is home to 13,000, among them some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

“There was really no firefight involved,” Capt. Scott McLean of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said of the blaze near Paradise. He said crews gave up attacking the flames and instead helped people get out alive. “Pretty much the community of Paradise is destroyed. It’s that kind of devastation.”

In Southern California, wildfires forced evacuations in Thousand Oaks, a city reeling from a shooting rampage this week that left 12 people dead at a country music bar. Three-quarters of the city were under evacuation orders — a number that likely includes those affected by massacre, Mayor Andy Fox said.

3 major fires by the numbers

Firefighters are battling three major wildfires in California. Here’s a breakdown by the numbers as of Friday evening, according to Cal Fire and local officials.

The Camp Fire
Location: Butte County
90,000 acres burned
5 percent contained
35 people reported missing
9 fatalities confirmed
1,385 people in shelters
52,000 have been evacuated

Woolsey Fire
Location: Ventura County
200,000 residents under mandatory evacuation
35,000 acres burned
Zero percent contained

Hill Fire
Location: Ventura County
About 4,500 acres burned
15 percent contained

Utility company will cooperate with investigation

The Pacific Gas & Electric Company said it will cooperate with any investigations stemming from the massive wildfire in Northern California. The company told state regulators Thursday that it experienced a problem on an electrical transmission line near the site of the blaze minutes before the fire broke out.

The company said it later observed damage to a transmission tower on the line. Lynsey Paulo, a company spokesperson, said the information was preliminary and stressed the cause of the fire has not been determined.

Death toll rises to 9

At least nine people were killed by the wildfire in Paradise, California, authorities said. The fire has burned 90,000 acres and destroyed more than 6,700 structures.

Three of the victims were found outside homes and four others inside vehicles, Butte County Sheriff Korey Honea said Friday. Another victim was found near outside their vehicle, he said.

Nurse fights flames escaping wildfire

Nurses and patients have recounted their dramatic escapes from a hospital in Paradise that was devastated by a ferocious wildfire. Nurse Darrel Wilken told the Chico Enterprise-Record newspaper that the fire came so quickly that he and other coworkers used their own cars to evacuate patients from the Adventist Health Feather River Hospital.

Wilken said he took three patients in his car and that two of them were in critical condition. He said he battled gridlocked traffic on a road surrounded on both sides by fire.

Cody Knowles said his wife, Francine, was having gallbladder surgery Thursday morning.

When the evacuation was announced, she was still asleep from anesthesia. He waited until she woke up and they escaped in a hospital employee’s car. The hospital said it evacuated 60 patients to other facilities.

Wildfire causes “utter panic” as people try to escape

As the fast-moving fire ravaged Northern California, highways were jammed with cars as people desperately tried to escape. One man battled burning ash as he tried to find a way out. He’s safe now, but others were forced to abandon their cars and run for their lives.

Five miles north of Paradise, Tisha Aroyo and her grandfather stayed behind. He said he thought he could save her house, but they would only watch helplessly as their home burned.

JT Ford and his wife Stacey went to a nearby pasture, where they watched their home go up in flames. “The fire roared through so quick it was only an hour of utter panic and fear because then everything burned out,” Ford said.

Flames have moved so quickly there’s not a lot firefighters can do. “That fire from the second it started was off to the races,” said Ken Pimlott, director of Cal Fire. “It’s all hands on deck to rescue people and get people out of harm’s way.”

Blaze burns TV set used for “Westworld”

The so-called “Woolsey Fire” has burned a Western-themed television production set in Southern California, according to the National Park Service. The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area said on Twitter that the wildfire hit Western Town at Paramount Ranch in Agoura.

Western Town was built in the 1950s for television shows, according to the park service. HBO’s “Westworld” has been filmed there, ET reports.

A CBS Los Angeles reporter posted pictures to Twitter of burned-down structures on the set. The ranch has also been featured on such shows as CBS’ “The Mentalist” and “Weeds,” which aired on Showtime, a division of CBS.

Congestion in Southern California evacuation area

A law enforcement official said that there was congestion on roads in an evacuation area near the “Woolsey Fire” in Southern California. Division Chief John Benedict of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told reporters that people were evacuating an area south of the U.S. 101 freeway between Las Virgenes Canyon Road and the line between Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Benedict advised people to travel toward the coast and then east toward Santa Monica on the Pacific Coast Highway to ease the congestion. Benedict urged people evacuating to remember their identification, medication, personal documents and “anything that you might think that you’re going to need down the road.

“This thing moves fast, and you need to be prepared, so if you’re ready to go, go, and if you’re being told to go, get out of there,” Benedict said.

Smoke from wildfire pollutes San Francisco air

Authorities issued an unhealthy air quality alert for parts of the San Francisco Bay Area as smoke from the Camp Fire drifts south, polluting the air. The air in San Francisco Friday was hazy and the smell of smoke was overwhelming.

Officials advised older people and children to move physical activities indoors. All people were encouraged to limit their outdoor activities.

Camp Fire nearly quadruples in size

A California fire official said the Camp Fire nearly quadrupled in size overnight. Capt. Scott McLean of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said the fire near the town of Paradise has grown to 70,000 acres, which is nearly 110 square miles.

Southern California fire forces evacuation of Malibu

The entire city of Malibu was ordered to evacuate Friday morning as the Woolsey Fire roared toward the beachside community that is home for many Hollywood celebrities. A city-wide evacuation was ordered early Friday and then was scaled back, only to be reinstated.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department tweeted that the fire raging through the Santa Monica Mountains was headed to the ocean. Malibu has about 13,000 residents and lies along 21 miles of coast at the southern foot of the mountain range.

“Imminent threat!” the department said in its warning. The erupted Thursday near the northwest corner of the city of Los Angeles as the region’s notorious Santa Ana winds gusted, triggering overnight evacuations of an estimated 75,000 homes in western Los Angeles County and eastern Ventura County.

The fire then pushed southward, jumped the wide U.S. 101 freeway before dawn Friday and pushed into the Santa Monica range. Meanwhile, the so-called “Hill Fire” was burning farther west in Ventura County and was also moving toward the ocean.

“Heavenly father, please help us”

Surrounded by walls of flames whipped by winds of 50 mph, people drove through hell trying to escape, CBS News correspondent David Begnaud reports from Paradise. “Heavenly father, please help us,” a woman said on a video while driving on a road bookended by flames.

The Camp Fire exploded in intensity, filling the sky with toxic smoke that could be seen from San Francisco, which is nearly 150 miles away. “Everything is burning up around us,” a woman said on a video posted to Facebook.

There was very little time for the 27,000 people who live in Paradise to evacuate. “We grabbed our animals and some food and some clothes, and we’re getting the heck out of here,” Kevin Winstead of Paradise told CBS Chico affiliate KHSL-TV.
