INGLEWOOD — Matthew Stafford was down connected his back, not acold from the punishment emblem for 1 of the 2 antiaircraft lineman who’d landed connected Stafford’s thorax aft helium released an incomplete pass. SoFi Stadium held its enactment arsenic Rams trainers ran onto the field. Even a slumping starting backmost is excessively important to lose.
Stafford would beryllium capable to get up, locomotion disconnected the tract and instrumentality aft missing 1 play, but the infinitesimal summed up however fragile adjacent the Rams’ successes consciousness close now.
The Rams pulled distant from the Jacksonville Jaguars to triumph 37-7 astatine SoFi Stadium connected Sunday afternoon, ending a losing streak astatine 3 games.
But the Rams (8-4) asserted their superiority implicit the Jaguars (2-10) lone aft a sloppy first-half show that gave anticipation to 1 of the NFL’s worst teams.
And this mightiness beryllium lone a intermission to drawback their enactment earlier the Rams spell to Arizona adjacent Sunday, their slim accidental for a part rubric astatine risk.
Their discourtesy volition person to prime up wherever it near disconnected successful the 2nd half, erstwhile Stafford and Cooper Kupp began to click arsenic they had aboriginal successful the season. Stafford deed the receiver for 43 yards and past 29 and a touchdown connected 1 drive, 8 and 19 connected different thrust to a abbreviated scoring walk to Van Jefferson.
After a 1-yard scoring walk to Odell Beckham Jr., the Rams had touchdowns connected their archetypal 3 drives aft halftime and Stafford was connected his mode to his champion time successful much than a month.
Stafford completed 26 of 38 passes for 295 yards, 3 touchdowns and zero interceptions, the past fig being captious aft helium committed 2 turnovers successful each of the Rams’ losses to the Titans, 49ers and Packers.
Kupp caught 8 passes for 129 yards, holding his NFL leads successful those categories and becoming the sixth subordinate to grounds astatine slightest 90 receiving yards successful 8 oregon much consecutive games successful the Super Bowl era.
Sony Michel, making each the carries with Darrell Henderson progressive but not playing with a thigh injury, rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown, the champion time by a Rams moving backmost this season.
The defense, meanwhile, sacked Jaguars backmost Trevor Lawrence lone erstwhile but gave the No. 1 wide draught prime a hard time, holding him to 145 yards passing.
At halftime, the Rams held 1 of the uglier 16-7 leads they’ll ever privation to have.
The Rams’ 1 touchdown, connected a 27-yard thrust to a 5-yard propulsion by Sony Michel, was acceptable up by a Jaguars fumble forced by Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey.
But they had gone 0 for 6 connected 3rd downs and failed to instrumentality vantage of their champion tract vantage successful weeks.
They’d settled for Matt Gay’s 40-yard tract extremity aft starting the crippled successful Jaguars territory acknowledgment to first-time kickoff returner Brandon Powell’s 65-yard tally with the opening kick.
And they’d managed lone a 44-yarder and 37-yarder by Gay aft drives of 57 and 70 yards stalled.
The Jaguars’ touchdown, a 1-yard tally by Carlos Hyde that chopped the Rams’ pb to 10-7, was the effect of lax and undisciplined defense.
The Rams gave up conversions connected 2 3rd downs and a fourth, a brace of those coming connected runs by Lawrence. Ramsey was flagged for taunting and Darious Williams was called for holding wrong the reddish zone. Those were 2 of the team’s 5 penalties successful the archetypal half.
The worst infinitesimal could person been erstwhile Stafford was buried by the Jaguars’ Roy Robertson-Harris and Dawuane Smoot arsenic helium threw a first-down walk from the Rams’ 36 precocious successful the archetypal half. Stafford clutched his thorax arsenic helium laic connected the turf. John Wolford trotted retired to play quaterback.
But aft Wolford executed a handoff to Michel, Stafford returned from the seat and finished the field-goal drive.
Stafford’s wellness has been a taxable of speculation aft helium missed signifier clip with a stiff backmost earlier the Rams’ nonaccomplishment to the Titans, played with a sore ankle against the 49ers, and was reported to person a sore limb too.
The Rams request him to bent tough. Now 2 games down the Cardinals successful the NFC West, going to Glendale, Ariz., that goes for each of them.
