After losing to the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, the Rams welcomed a short turnaround to forget about their ineffective performance on offense and breakdowns at key moments on defense.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has passed for 366 touchdowns in his 15-plus NFL seasons, needs one touchdown pass to take sole possession of 10th place on the career list. Stafford has passed for nine touchdowns with seven interceptions this season.
The Rams’ offensive line protected Stafford well during a three-game winning streak that preceded the loss to the Dolphins. That trend appeared as if it would continue when linemen Jonah Jackson, Steve Avila and Joe Noteboom returned to the starting lineup.
