As they have so often this season, the Rams defense picked up Jared Goff after a turnover. This time, they put points on the board themselves, too.
To open the second quarter, Kenny Young picked off Cam Newton and returned it 79 yards for a touchdown, the second week in a row the Rams have had a pick-six.
He was helped by Leonard Floyd, who pressured Newton into a bad throw, while Aaron Donald also held up Damien Harris briefly to prevent him from making the catch.
Take a look at the play, which put the Rams up 17-0 less than 16 minutes into the game.

Along with the rest of the defense, Sean McVay was hustling down the field along the sideline, cheering his guys on.
What's Sean McVay's 40 time? 😂 @RamsNFL
