The Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Rams are facing off in week 14 on Amazon prime as this has the potential to be a great game. With both of these teams struggling this year and having a disappointing season, both teams will look to get a win and improve on their season record. Let’s go through each half of football and give my overall thoughts for the game.
The first half was pretty exciting as the Raiders had plenty of scoring options as the Rams defense couldn’t put away this Raiders offense in the first half, with Davante Adams having a spectacular catch against corner Jalen Ramsey, in the first quarter and Josh Jacobs powering through for a touchdown run. This raiders team jumped out to a quick lead in the first half.
In the second half it was all about the Raiders…At least until the fourth quarter when like the Saints earlier in the week they had a 16-3 lead going into the fourth quarter and blew it. Baker Mayfield had a heck of a game winning drive where he drove 98 yards down the field to score the game winning touchdown pass to wide receiver Van Jefferson. Derek Carr had a game to forget as he had two interceptions and one of his worst games of his career.
Overall, I give massive credit to Baker Mayfield and the Los Angeles Rams as they figured out how to pull this game out, with the Rams squeaking out the win 17-16 they advanced to 4-9 as the Raiders drop to 5-8.
