The Los Angeles Rams really showcased their offensive prowess on Sunday, turning up the heat when it mattered most. They managed to score 20 consecutive points, ultimately edging out rookie Cam Ward in his NFL home debut with a 33-19 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Matthew Stafford had a stellar game, throwing for 298 yards and two touchdowns. “When we really execute with our players and the scheme we have, the chances of success are pretty high,” Stafford commented.
Wide receiver Puka Nacua also made an impact, rushing 45 yards for a touchdown and racking up 91 yards receiving. Davante Adams added to the excitement with 106 receiving yards and a touchdown catch, while Joshua Karty contributed with two successful field goals. The Rams (now 2-0) were relentless on defense, sacking the No. 1 overall draft pick five times, with linebacker Byron Young being particularly impressive, not only recording two sacks but also forcing a fumble at the Titans’ 21-yard line.

Despite leading 13-10 at halftime and holding a 16-13 lead at one point, Tennessee saw the Rams surge back. Stafford connected with Davis Allen for an 8-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter, putting the Rams ahead for good. After the fumble by Ward, it took Stafford just three plays to extend the lead to 27-16 with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams. Blake Corum then capped off the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown run.
In terms of yardage, the Rams dominated with 439 total yards compared to the Titans’ 252. “I was really happy with how we finished the game,” said Rams coach Sean McVay. “I thought we took control in the second half. That’s a tough football team.” Meanwhile, the Titans (who are now 0-2) are on an eight-game losing streak dating back to last season. They were missing key players, including right tackle JC Latham and nose tackle T’Vondre Sweat, with John Ojukwu stepping in for Latham after being promoted from the practice squad.
“It’s definitely frustrating to start the season 0-2,” acknowledged Titans coach Brian Callahan, whose record stands at 3-16 since taking the helm. “I still believe in our team’s ability to win games in this league, but we need to put together a performance that’s worthy of a win against some strong opponents.” On the Rams' side, they were also without key offensive players like starting left guard Steve Avila and tight end Colby Parkinson.
Los Angeles struck first in the game with Nacua’s impressive touchdown run around the left end on a pivotal fourth-and-1. It marked the Rams’ longest touchdown run since Week 15 of the 2017 season. With his 100-yard receiving game, Adams has now tied for the 11th-most in NFL history, sitting alongside legends like Antonio Brown and Calvin Johnson with 46. Only Julio Jones, with 47, has more since Adams began his career in 2014. “Getting a win definitely makes it that much sweeter,” Adams said, celebrating also surpassing 12,000 career receiving yards. “I’ve had a few memorable performances lately, but it’s been tougher to feel good about them.”
