The Los Angeles Rams have begun a winning streak.
Following wins over the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals, the Rams won their third game in a row on Sunday, defeating the Cleveland Browns 36-19 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The victory not only keeps the Rams in contention for an NFC Wild Card spot, but also returns them to.500 for the first time since a win over Arizona in mid-October.
The victory also moved the Rams into a tie for second place in the NFC West with the Seahawks, a team that L.A. has a tiebreaker over after beating them twice this season.
The Rams won a group game on Sunday, with quarterback Matthew Stafford wheeling and dealing for 279 yards and three touchdowns while connecting with seven different receivers.
Puka Nacua,a rookie sensation, led that receiver list with four receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown. He accomplished this despite suffering a painful rib injury in the first half.
Cooper Kupp and DeMarcus Robinson added touchdowns for the Rams, with Robinson’s being his first of the season.
Meanwhile, Rams running back Kyren Williams was an important part of the offense, rushing 21 times for 88 yards and a touchdown while also catching three passes for 24 yards.
With the victory in hand, the Rams will turn their attention to the east, where they will face the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
Following that, the Rams will face three straight opponents with losing records before the season finale against the 49ers in San Francisco.
