I seriously couldn't take it.
I was so buzzed, I barely got some sleep at 7am.
If I ever need a huge burst of adrenaline, I will rewatch that game, tho. I mean...

Rams Week 11 report card: Grading every position vs. Chiefs
By: Cameron DaSilva
Quarterback
Jared Goff wasn’t perfect on Monday night, but he went toe-to-toe with Mahomes and matched him every step of the way, throwing three fewer interceptions. He finished with 413 yards and four touchdowns, one of his best statistical performances ever. If not for Goff, the Rams don’t win this game, especially given Todd Gurley’s recently revealed ankle injury suffered in the first quarter.
Grade: A
Running back
Gurley was hardly used against the Chiefs, touching the ball just 15 times in a game where the Rams scored 54 points. That’s because he suffered a minor ankle injury on the opening drive, which Sean McVay says “bothered” him throughout the game. He still mustered 94 yards on those 15 touches, but based on his standards, it was an underwhelming performance. Malcolm Brown did chip in 15 yards on four carries, as well.
Grade: B-
Wide receiver
Goff had a surprisingly hard time connecting with Robert Woods, who caught just four of his 11 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown. However, he and Brandin Cooks hooked up eight times for 107 yards, including a 30-yarder. Josh Reynolds was the real surprise here, catching six passes for 80 yards and a touchdown. He nearly had a second score, too, and made a nice one-handed grab after Goff scrambled.
Grade: A-
Tight end
Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee really stepped up against Kansas City. Everett caught three passes for 49 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner. Higbee added six catches on seven targets for 63 yards, as well, the best game these two have ever played together.
Grade: A-
Offensive line
The offensive line faced a tall task in stopping the Chiefs’ pass rushers. Goff was sacked five times, hit seven times and the Chiefs had six tackles for loss, wreaking havoc consistently. Chris Jones and Dee Ford were especially good, while Justin Houston also added a strip sack. Rodger Saffold struggled against Jones, as most guards do, but this is nothing to worry about.
Grade: C+
Defensive line
Aaron Donald once again carried the load with two sacks, two quarterback hits and two forced fumbles, though he didn’t make a tackle for loss, surprisingly. Ndamukong Suh was mostly a non-factor with just one tackle assist, while Michael Brockers had two total tackles. It’s hard for this unit not to earn an above-average grade with Donald running the show.
Grade: B+
Inside linebacker
Cory Littleton had a solid game with eight tackles, including back-to-back rangy stops on Kareem Hunt. Mark Barron wasn’t as effective, but it was a decent performance by the tandem, limiting Hunt to 70 yards rushing.
Grade: B
Outside linebacker
Samson Ebukam broke out with a sack, interception, forced fumble and two touchdowns, the first player ever to post that stat line. He won NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts, helping the Rams to victory. Dante Fowler was the only other outside linebacker to play meaningful snaps, recording three tackle assists.
Grade: A-
Cornerback
Tyreek Hill went off for 10 catches and 215 yards with two touchdowns, while Chris Conley added two scores on seven catches (74 yards) as well. The Rams’ cornerbacks struggled to cover both players, leading to a big day from Patrick Mahomes. Sam Shields had a rough night, as did Troy Hill, while Marcus Peters pulled down an easy interception.
Grade: C
Safety
John Johnson led the team with 11 tackles and Lamarcus Joyner chipped in seven of his own with a game-sealing interception. Neither was in good position on Tyreek Hill’s first touchdown, but Joyner had a nice pass breakup later in the game.
Grade: B+
Special teams
Johnny Hekker was a stud, pinning the Chiefs deep with two booming punts late in the fourth quarter. Greg Zuerlein missed an extra point and the two return specialists, JoJo Natson and Pharoh Cooper, struggled in that department, but it was a strong day from the special teams unit thanks to Hekker.

HOLY CRAP!!! I got goosebumps listening to that!
You're right. I don't speak enough Spanish to recognize everything, but I get enough when watching to follow and they're far more exciting...Heck, they make SOCCER exciting.
Legit, I watch the World Cup in Spanish. The worst are British announcers. It's like they're announcing a putt for the win at St. Andrews... no bueno....

I miss the "wooooooooo!". What happened to that? It was a tradition, right until it stopped.

I'm guessing McVay was in a state of shock and forgot.

Refocused, NFL Week 11: Los Angeles Rams 54, Kansas City Chiefs 51
BY PFF ANALYSIS TEAM
Aaron Donald did Aaron Donald things on Monday night. He finished the game with two strip-sacks, one of which resulting in a scoop and score from his teammate Samson Ebukam.
Los Angeles edge defender Ebukam, in addition to his fumble-six, turned a batted pass into a pick-six of Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes.
Offensively, it was the Jared Goff show for the Rams, as Todd Gurley was largely a non-factor on the night. Goff threw for over 400 yards and made a number of excellent throws to the deep and intermediate areas, most notably on what would be the game-winning touchdown strike to Gerald Everett.
However, it wasn’t all roses either, as that touchdown throw wouldn’t have happened had Orlando Scandrick held on to a surefire pick earlier in the drive. But overall, it was more good than bad for the third-year quarterback.
Injuries forced the Rams to do a bit more shuffling than normal at the skill positions, but it hardly limited them, as Goff got everyone involved from a receiving standpoint. Six players had at least three receptions, four topped 60 yards receiving and three found the end zone.
Tyreek Hill was stellar. The third-year speedster torched Sam Shields multiple times on the night and finished the game with 10 receptions for 215 yards and two touchdowns.
Mahomes had a handful of outstanding throws, but the throws he’ll remember will be his two fourth-quarter interceptions that ultimately put the game out of reach for the Chiefs.
This was not a night for defense. It was a brutal night for the Chiefs’ secondary. Kansas City stuck with a heavy dose of man coverage on the back end, and whether they were giving up completions or getting charged with penalties, they simply couldn’t keep pace with the Rams’ weapons on the outside.
Chris Jones was perhaps the lone Chiefs defender who turned in a standout effort. Jones had his way with Rams guard Rodger Saffold throughout the night, making plays in both the run game and as a pass-rusher.
Keys to the Game
Los Angeles
In a game with seemingly unlimited offense, there was also a high number of turnovers, and winning that battle was ultimately the difference.
Kansas City
Two Mahomes’ interceptions late in the fourth quarter kept Kansas City from pulling ahead in the final minutes.
