Matthew Stafford delivered an impressive performance for the Los Angeles Rams, throwing five touchdown passes to lead his team to a commanding 35-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. The standout effort was particularly noteworthy as it came in the absence of star receiver Puka Nacua. Stafford demonstrated his versatility by distributing the ball to ten different receivers, showcasing coach Sean McVay’s offensive ingenuity.
The Rams established control of the game early, racing to a 14-0 lead by the end of the first quarter, with Stafford connecting for two touchdowns, one of which was caught by emerging star Konata Mumpfield. The game saw the Jaguars struggle to find their rhythm, ultimately resulting in another disappointing loss that brings their record to 4-3.
Across the league, other matchups revealed significant outcomes as the Chicago Bears triumphed over the New Orleans Saints with a 26-14 win, while the Cleveland Browns overwhelmed the Miami Dolphins, finishing at 31-6. The Kansas City Chiefs asserted their dominance with a 31-0 shutout of the Las Vegas Raiders. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles edged out the Minnesota Vikings 28-22, with Jalen Hurts throwing three touchdown passes in a standout performance.
The Titans faced another frustrating loss, falling 31-13 to the New England Patriots under interim coach Mike McCoy, who was unable to steer the team to a positive turnaround.
These results not only highlight the remarkable turnaround story of the Rams but also set them on a hopeful trajectory towards the postseason. As Stafford continues to build chemistry with his teammates, the prospects for the Rams appear promising as they move forward in the season.
