The Los Angeles Rams' quest for a second straight NFC West crown is off to an ideal start.
Los Angeles opened its 2018 season with a 33-13 road victory over the Oakland Raiders on Monday in Oakland Alameda Coliseum. Jared Goff (17-of-32 for 229 yards and two touchdowns) and Todd Gurley (108 rushing yards, 39 receiving yards and one touchdown) combined to spoil Jon Gruden's first game as a head coach since 2008.
The Raiders held a 13-10 lead in the second half, but the Rams eventually found their footing and scored the game's final 23 points.
