1. Man, I'm grinning from ear to ear right now!
2. In the first half, I felt like the Rams were playing it a bit safer than the 49ers, and I didn't have much hope.
3. Seeing a lineup of mostly backups playing for, and achieving, a comeback win, though... well, it made me smile.
4. Puka Nacua is amazing. What a great kid, an amazing story, and a pleasure to watch. The Rams have two more league records!
5. Carson Wentz had some nice moments. You can see why he's had trouble staying healthy, but I'd be happy retain him as Matthew Stafford's understudy next year (and, hopefully, see him only once in Week 18 again!). He's my Offensive Player of the Week.
6. My Defensive Player of the Week is Russ Yeast. 7 tackles and 2 big pass breakups that helped preserve the win. If Jordan Fuller's ankle keeps him out, I feel pretty good about Yeast getting more snaps.
7. RETROACTIVE SPOILER ALERT:
8. Pretty good, huh? And... perhaps prophetic that it was thought #17!!!
9. Ronnie Rivers ran the ball nicely. He compliments Kyren Williams well.
10. Byron Young capped off a really strong rookie campaign with his 8th sack and a game ending fumble recovery.
11. The Rams will need to add another pass rusher this offseason, but 17 sacks from two rookies - both taken in the 3rd round - bodes well for our future.
12. The NFL, the networks and the casual fan have their dream matchup: Rams vs. Lions, Stafford vs. Goff, BRING ON THE LIONS!!!
13. Fun historical fact: the Rams and the Lions have met only once in the postseason, a 31-21 Lions victory in 1952 (@oldnotdead was there, I think
).
14. Revenge is a dish best served cold! 72 years!!!!!!!
15. The look on Sean McVay's face when Puka got the record, followed quickly by an unmistakable hand gesture meaning "get him out of there" was hilarious.
16. I'm in too good a mood to talk about the placekicking.
17. A 7-1 finish is phenomenal, and its amazing to think how close we were to winning our final 8 games.
18. I don't think that this game tells us all that much about how we'd match up against the 49ers with both teams going all out (which, of course, could happen in two weeks).
19. Have the Rams gone from plucky upstart to darkhorse contender? Stay tuned!
20. TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!
