If you started watching this NFL season at about 8:20 p.m. Eastern time Sunday, and those small records on NBC’s score graphic at the bottom of the screen were covered up, you would have thought the Los Angeles Rams were among the Super Bowl favorites again.
Sunday’s 28-12 win over the Seattle Seahawks looked like the Sean McVay Rams we’re used to. Todd Gurley was sprinting through big lanes at the line of scrimmage. Jared Goff was spreading the ball around to his talented receivers. The defense had perhaps its best game of the year, practically making Lamar Jackson an MVP runaway favorite by shutting down Russell Wilson.
