Gerald Everett didn’t have a big game for the Rams on Thursday night against the Patriots, but neither did any of L.A.’s other pass-catchers. Jared Goff threw for just 137 yards and one touchdown, doing very little through the air.
That’s because Cam Akers was running like a mad man, rushing for 171 yards on 29 carries. It was a breakout performance for the rookie running back, getting plenty of help from his friends both up front and outside.
Akers credited the Rams offensive line, wide receivers and tight ends for his performance, saying they did an excellent job opening up running lanes for him.
Everett was mic’d up for the game and he could be heard talking to Akers, letting him know what he was going to do on a specific play blocking-wise. Check out the video below.
