20/29 for 220 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTS in his first game back.
Hill delivered everything we could hope to expect his first game back. Calm, fast decisions, long ball accuracy, zero sacks against an excellent pass rush. Some will say the O line played better but I would say Hill released faster and didn't need to scramble. We'll see.
He was definitely off a little at first. He floated one that TA jumped up and secured. Hit Britt on the first long ball but a little behind killing a possible TD. Just not quite right. Several that got there, but not good enough to get the extra yards. The WRs adjusted and made the catches.
Later, he was much better. That second long throw to Britt in stride is going to become familiar I think. The two clicked in TC and PS.
In the last 5 games, Chargers barely beat Oakland twice, lost to KC and Denver, and then were goosegged by Miami. Shutout. 37-0. They are averaging 13 points a game over the last 4 games. Even with Mathews back against Oakland, they only scored 13 at home.
There is a running theme here and it's that they can't score on good defenses.
My point being that this is another manageable game for Hill. Avoid the sacks, deliver the ball, stretch the field so Tre Mason can do his thing, get the Rams points. Chargers are not Denver on defense so this game should be higher scoring for the Rams. I have no problem with FGs the way the Rams D is playing.
Chargers have a suspect secondary. I expect at least one long TD to Britt and one to Bailey who will break free after the catch. Did you notice Bailey resurfaced last week? Hill likes Bailey. He has always thrown to Bailey more.
Notice that with Hill, GZ had 5 field goals. That's fantastic. He only had 10 the rest of the season. It tells me Hill was getting us to the 35 area. Sure, TDs would have been better, but Rams were on the other side of the field all game which is what Rams need.
My prediction for Hill is 250 yards, 2 TDs, 3 field goals, 1 INT, for the win.
Tre Mason will top 110 rushing and get a TD.
Britt will top 110 receiving and get a TD.
Bailey will top 100 all purpose and get a TD.
If TA or Cook scores, this will be a blowout.
Rams win 30 - 16.
It's forecast to be 68 and sunny on Sunday. Nice.
