Things didn’t work out for Baker Mayfield in Carolina, but it didn’t take long for him to find a new home in Los Angeles. After being claimed just a few days ago, Mayfield entered the game for the Rams and helped them earn a 17-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football.
The come-from-behind victory included an eight-play, 98-yard touchdown drive that culminated with a 23-yard touchdown pass to Van Jefferson with 10 seconds left in the game.
Mayfield was 4 of 6 on the final drive for 80 yards and a touchdown.
With just four games remaining until the playoffs, it’s unlikely the Rams could earn a berth, but with San Francisco losing starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, the door is open a smidge for Mayfield and Los Angeles to make a late push if they can find some more “Baker Magic.”
In the win, Baker Mayfield went 22 of 35 for 230 yards and a touchdown, the game-winner. It’ll be interesting to see what he can do in Sean McVay’s offense with a few more days of prep time before the Rams travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers.
