Star running back Todd Gurley, on the field for the first time in nearly a month, had carried the ball four times when back-up C.J. Anderson came off the sideline and carried three times before an eventual field goal. The rotation continued throughout the game.
By the end of the 30-22 victory, Anderson had rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns in 23 carries.
