It was everything pro football has become in 2018 … in excess.
The NFL wanted and expected a spectacle Monday night in L.A. when the Los Angeles Rams faced the Kansas City Chiefs, a showcase event in a season that has been all about historically great quarterback play, revved-up offenses, renewed enthusiasm among fans and improved TV viewership.
And that’s precisely what the NFL got – and then some.
Rams 54, Chiefs 51 was the extravaganza that everyone wanted to see. It was the third-highest-scoring game in NFL history. It was the first-ever NFL game in which each team had 50 or more points.
