Coach Sean McVay‘s Los Angeles Rams are trending upward after a solid 20-13 road win over the Washington Commanders that included three sacks from the “scary” good edge rusher Myles Garrett in his return to the lineup. A Terrance Ferguson injury gave new players a chance to step up on offense including Blake Corum at running back.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford was solid as well with 228 passing yards, a touchdown and an interception, but fans wondered if he was at his best amid elbow issues. He addressed them in comments shared by Sarah Barshop of ESPN after the game.

“Yeah, I’m a pretty good version of myself, I think. Obviously, want some plays back here and there, but we’re finding ways to win the football game.”

Stafford spread the ball around to six different receivers, focusing on superstar Puka Nacua to the tune of 14 receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown. Nacua also ran the ball twice for 20 yards, showing his explosiveness and versatility.

Corum had 11 carries for 58 yards as he continues to show off the skills that made him a national champion at the University of Michigan, and a rapidly ascending pro running back. Kyren Williams added 15 carries for 45 yards, helping to take the pressure off of Nacua, Stafford and Corum as the game unfolded.
