The Los Angeles Rams played a home game Thursday night, but the atmosphere inside SoFi Stadium didn’t appear that way.<\/p>\n
Playing in front of a plethora of Raiders fans, the Rams stunned the franchise that once called Los Angeles home, 17-16, on Thursday night. <\/p>\n
The win snapped a six-game losing streak for the defending Super Bowl champion Rams and ended a three-game winning streak for a Raiders team trying to make a playoff push.<\/p>\n
Thursday was the first time the Raiders and Rams faced off in Southern California since Nov. 13, 1994. Here are the winners and losers from the Week 14 tilt:<\/p>\n
Follow every game:<\/strong> Latest NFL Scores and Schedules<\/p>\n Mayfield was claimed off waivers by the Rams on Tuesday and played nearly the entire game for the club on Thursday. He predictably had some communication issues with players, and it was clear he didn’t have a full grasp of the playbook (nobody would in 48 hours).<\/p>\n But Mayfield caught fire and was more comfortable in the fourth quarter. He led the Rams on a 17-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to close the deficit to 16-10.<\/p>\n The Rams defense then forced the Raiders offense to a three-and-out and Mayfield and the Rams went on an eight play, 98-yard game-winning touchdown drive to seal the victory.<\/p>\n\n On the game-winning drive, Ben Skowronek had a big 32-yard catch to put the Rams in business. A few plays later, Mayfield threw a beautiful 23-yard touchdown throw to Van Jefferson. The two plays were probably Mayfield’s best passes of his roller-coaster season.<\/p>\n\n Mayfield finished the game 22-of-35 passing for 230 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s a pretty damn good story,\u201d Mayfield said after the game, per the Associated Press. \u201cI’ll be honest with you. It’s pretty special. \u2026 I love to compete. I love this game.\u201d <\/p>\nBaker Mayfield gets win after showing up this week<\/h2>\n
