LOS ANGELES • New location, same old look at first. Then an unexpected, wild finish.
The Rams, who moved back to Los Angeles in the offseason after being based in St. Louis for 21 years, needed only 13 seconds to fall behind Saturday in their first exhibition game since heading back to Southern California.
Lucky Whitehead returned the opening kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown to give Dallas the lead before many of the 89,140 fans — the largest to ever see a preseason NFL game in the U.S. — even had settled into their seats at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
