Baltimore Ravens 45 – Los Angeles Rams 6
On the other hand, the Rams were on the receiving end of a blowout by the red-hot Ravens the following evening. Lamar Jackson continued to prove his doubters wrong with another five-touchdown, interception-free performance for 169 yards while rushing for 95 additional yards. The Rams defense could not contain him or the Ravens’ ground game, no matter what or how hard they tried.
They could not establish a rhythm on offense, either. Quarterback Jared Goff struggled once again, throwing two interceptions and fumbling once, although the Rams recovered it. He now has more interceptions (12) than touchdown passes (11) on the season. Todd Gurley’s struggles with arthritis this season have been well-documented, and he was limited again, rushing for a mere 22 yards on six carries.
Quite simply, the Rams were outclassed in every conceivable way and their playoff hopes have been all but destroyed. They will play the Cardinals (3-7-1) for a last-ditch effort to launch themselves back into postseason contention, but it is looking unlikely with the rest of the stacked NFC.
