The talent and potential has always been apparent with rookie Cam Akers. It wasn’t so much a matter of if, but when. Well, last night was that moment for Akers as he glided and strode through the Patriots all night long.
The 2020 second-round back rushed for a career-high 171 yards on 29 carries. His long of 35 yards came on his very first carry of the game and he also chipped in a pair of catches for 23 yards. HIs 179 rushing yards were also the most by a Rams rookie since Jerome Bettis had 212 in a game back in 1993.
