McCoy. RG 3 had 4 attempts though.

Thanks , we'll all that said , I'm cheering for the Skins over Philly Monday Night. Those 2 teams played opening day this season. I think it's better for The Rams as well.

The Los Angeles Rams solidified themselves atop the NFC West with their 33-0 win over the Arizona Cardinals from London on Sunday, as the emergence of former No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff has helped the Rams to a 5-2 record through Week 7.

Goff completed 22-of-37 passes for 235 yards and one touchdown against one interception, while Rams star running back Todd Gurley torched the Cardinals’ defense for 106 yards and one touchdown on the ground.

Cardinals QB Carson Palmer took an early exit from the game in the second quarter due to a left arm injury, bringing backup Drew Stanton off the bench and into the game. Stanton struggled to get things going for Arizona, as he completed just 5-of-14 passes for 62 yards and an interception.

Following Stanton’s lead, Cardinals running back Adrian Peterson had quite the opposite performance against the Rams compared to his strong debut in Arizona last week. He amassed just 21 rushing yards on 11 carries.

Keeping the Cardinals from taking flight, Rams’ Mark Barron and Lamarcus Joyner both logged interceptions in the contest. With that, we give you our PFF exclusive takeaways from the contest for each team.

TOP 5 GRADES:

G Rodger Saffold, 87.1 overall grade

T Andrew Whitworth, 84.6 overall grade

LB Mark Barron, 81.5 overall grade

DI Tyrunn Walker, 80.7 overall grade

DI Aaron Donald, 80.4 overall grade

RB Todd Gurley, 80.4 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:

RB TODD GURLEY, 80.4 OVERALL GRADE

Gurley continued his strong season, with his fourth 100-plus yard rushing game in five weeks. He gained 62 yards after first contact, an average of nearly three yards per carry, and forced a season-high four missed tackles. He added another four catches, 48 yards and a missed tackle as a receiver as well.

QB JARED GOFF, 50.4 OVERALL GRADE
Overall, it was a pretty mediocre game for Goff through the air. His only target on a deep pass was broken up and nearly intercepted by Antoine Bethea. He completed just 4-of-10 passes targeted 10-plus yards downfield, with most of the rest coming on short, quick passes or dumpoffs.

Accounting for drops and throwaways, his overall adjusted completion percentage was just 67.6 percent. However, Goff did have the nice touchdown run on the read-option zone play to put points on the board.

LB ALEC OGLETREE, 79.2 OVERALL GRADE
Ogletree had a strong all-around day, as he posted three defensive stops and two QB pressures, one of them the aforementioned hit which knocked Palmer out of the game. He was also excellent in coverage, as he did not give up a reception on five targets and came away with an interception.

DI AARON DONALD, 80.4 OVERALL GRADE
It says something about the kind of player Donald is that it is almost disappointing he tallied “just” three pressures. However, he was still of course his normal, effective self, notching a sack and a hit on the quarterback to go with two run stops.

TOP 5 GRADES:
S Antoine Bethea, 81.0 overall grade

OT Jared Veldheer, 80.8 overall grade

CB Patrick Peterson, 79.7 overall grade

DI Xavier Williams, 79.5 overall grade

C A.Q. Shipley, 76.9 overall grade

PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:

RB ADRIAN PETERSON, 39.8 OVERALL GRADE

The Cardinals sorely missed Andre Ellington today, and nowhere was it more visible than on third down passing situations. This is not an area Peterson has ever shined, and today he showed why with two drops and a third target that was nearly intercepted because he allowed the linebacker to easily cut off his route.

He was also responsible for the missed blitz pick-up that resulted in Carson Palmer’s first-half interception and injury, which effectively ended the game. On the ground, he had little room to run, earning more yards after contact (18) than official rushing yards (11) while forcing just one missed tackle.

C A.Q. SHIPLEY, 76.9 OVERALL GRADE
It was a rough day for the offensive line, as four-of-five starters gave up at least two pressures. Shipley was the lone lineman to post a clean slate in pass protection for Arizona, and his 69.8 run blocking grade, while not impressive, also bested the rest of the Cardinals offensive line.

CB PATRICK PETERSON, 79.7 OVERALL GRADE
Peterson did not alllow a single reception on 40 snaps in coverage, and was targeted just once. That is now back-to-back weeks that he has not allowed a catch, and has given up just seven catches for 82 yards in seven games on the year.

LB DEONE BUCANNON, 75.1 OVERALL GRADE
Bucannon was all over the field on Sunday as he made a game-high seven defensive stops. He was targeted a team-high 10 times and his seven catches allowed went for just 43 yards, a passer rating of 38.8, and picked off a pass where the receiver had gotten cut off by another defender. However, Bucannon also missed a tackle and was out of position a couple other times in run defense limiting his overall grade.

I hate these ratings and stats and stuff best stat record is the W-L rating and the only one that matters .

Goff mediocre ? He had a solid Game I wouldn’t call it mediocre and that isn’t wasnt on him

They don’t even know which linebacker got an INT .. I watched the whole game and it weren’t Tree .. unless he changed numbers and grew dreads during the game

Stats mean nothing of the information to compile them is wrong

Andrew Whitworth, you have been immense all year! If only you were 5 years younger. What a stud.

We've really had some great additions already under McVay.

No wonder Sean looked so happy!
