For three-plus quarters, the Texans looked exactly like a team that had scored only eight points in their last two games and 39 in their last five. The Rams completely shut them down, blanking them on the scoreboard until midway through the fourth quarter.
Even after allowing 22 unanswered points in garbage time, it was still an impressive win by the Rams to improve their record to 7-1. They rolled to a 38-22 victory on the road, their fourth straight win and pulling even with the Cardinals at the top of the NFC West.
There are areas of this team that can still improve, but the Rams played extremely well for three and a half quarters. Here are our seven takeaways from the win.
