Just two days after being claimed off waivers from the Panthers, newly acquired Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield engineered a 98-yard game-winning touchdown drive, capped off with a 23-yard touchdown pass to receiver Van Jefferson to beat the Raiders 17–16 and snap a six-game losing streak.
John Wolford started the game for the Rams, but was pulled after one series in favor of Mayfield. Mayfield, who was obviously playing with a limited understanding of the Rams’ playbook, performed quite well given the circumstances, as he completed 22-of-35 passes for 230 yards and the touchdown pass to Jefferson.
