The quarterback had just two days to learn the playbook after he was picked up off waivers on Tuesday, and it seemed to work out just fine as Los Angeles came back late in the game to win 17–16 over the Raiders.
With 12 minutes remaining, the Rams trailed 16–3. Then, Mayfield led the team a touchdown drive, and got the ball back with just a minute and a half left.
The fifth-year passer went on to march the team down the field until he dropped a dime to wide receiver Van Jefferson for a 23-yard touchdown with 10 seconds left in the game.
