INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Baker Mayfield didn't start against the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night, but he wasted no time making his mark in his debut for the Los Angeles Rams.
Mayfield, playing two days after he was claimed off waivers by the Rams, came off the bench in the first quarter and rallied his team from a 13-point deficit in the fourth, engineering a 98-yard game-winning drive that was capped by a 23-yard touchdown pass to Van Jefferson with 10 seconds left in a 17-16 win.
Mayfield took over the game for good on the Rams' second series, replacing quarterback John Wolford, who started but played just one series.
