Week 6 Takeaways:
By GARY GRAMLING

THINGS THAT MADE ME GIDDY

Rams Know How to Ice a Game: The Broncos pulled to within a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, and the Rams countered with a 13-play, 71-yard field-goal drive that took 5:39 off the clock and forced Denver to burn all three of their timeouts. That was a masterpiece.

REGRETS

Cooper Kupp Carted Off: A scary injury on a horse collar tackle, after which Kupp was carted off the field. He returned in the second half but played sparingly.

Case Keenum Throwing Goal Line Fades: Dropping them in the bucket if that bucket was sitting 12 yards wide of the field.

Broncos Run Defense: What was supposed to be a strength is now looking like one of the most glaring weaknesses in football. The Broncos allowed 270 rushing yards to the Rams on Sunday one week after allowing 323 to the Jets (they held the first three opponents of the season under 100). The wheels are coming off of Vance Joseph’s program.

Todd Gurley Is First Ram to Rush for 200 Yards Since 2001
By CHARLOTTE CARROLL

Todd Gurley helped carry the Rams to a 23-20 win over the Broncos in Denver on Sunday, becoming the Rams' first 200-yard plus rusher since Marshall Faulk in 2001.

The Rams remain undefeated at 6–0.

Gurley finished with 28 carries for 208 yards. It was a new career-high rushing yard total for Gurley. He also had two receptions for 17 yards.

The 24-year-old finished the day with two touchdowns.

On his first touchdown, Gurley took it to the end zone on fourth-and-inches.

He has 101 carries for 415 yards and seven touchdowns this season. Last season, he had 13 touchdowns, while in 2016 Gurley recorded only six touchdowns.

Gurley was the 10th pick in the 2015 NFL draft.

Todd Gurley

That's all that needs to be said

I can't wait for this team to start making some money. I'd like to see us spend a few dollars on a mic, or two for the reporters at these pressers.

 

[Memento]

Ugly win for this team, but I sure as hell would take it. TG30 dominated. AD and Littleton were all over the field.

Also want to give a big thank you to Emmanuel Sanders for his idiotic taunting penalty. Thanks to him, we never trailed in this game.

Refocused, NFL Week 6: Los Angeles Rams 23, Denver Broncos 20
BY PFF ANALYSIS TEAM

FINAL SCORE
Los Angeles Rams 23, Denver Broncos 20

Todd Gurley had one of the most productive rushing games of his career against the Broncos, relying largely on an outside zone attack. Gurley broke several tackle attempts with speed and a highly effective stiff arm.

Jared Goff did throw an interception on an out route when Tramaine Brock tipped the ball which bounced off the face mask of the intended receiver Josh Reynolds and into the hands of Darian Stewart.

Defensive interior Aaron Donald was once again his dominant self, as he got the better of both Denver guards throughout the entire game. Donald was consistently in the Denver backfield, forced Case Keenum to leave the pocket multiple times and notched a sack on the day.

Cornerback Troy Hill, who is playing in place of the injured Aqib Talib, gave up big plays to the Broncos receivers. Wide receivers Courtland Sutton, Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders all recorded receptions longer than 40 yards while being covered by Hill.

Rookie Bradley Chubb had two late second-quarter sacks. The first sack came after Von Miller beat Rob Havenstein on an inside move, forcing Goff towards Chubb. On the second sack, Shane Ray beat Roger Saffold inside and forced Goff to flee the pocket again into Chubb’s arms. Chubb’s third sack came in the 4th quarter on an inside stunt and forced a field goal attempt which was missed.

Todd Davis had a much better outing compared to previous weeks, recording multiple stops on the day.

Keenum struggled to get into a rhythm all afternoon. While he did make multiple bad decisions, including the pass that was intercepted, his bigger issue was just being accurate on a consistent basis, as he overthrew open receivers on multiple occasions.

Sanders was the go-to guy for Keenum yet again. Sanders made multiple big plays in the contest, as he remains the Broncos’ main deep threat and contributes by gaining yards after the catch.

Keys to the Game:

Los Angeles:

The Goff-Gurley combination rose above the cold weather to keep Denver down on the scoreboard through four quarters.

Denver:

Overall, Keenum’s inconsistency hurt the Broncos too much in this game. Despite the fact that receivers played themselves open, Keenum struggled to get the offense going with accurate passes.

Technically this is in Denver so it's their dime. But yeah the pressers at home aren't always the best.

 

[Adi]

Good win , their defense gave Goff a challenge. 6-0 feels great

That post game from Coach actually has me loving him even more. McVay is the best.

But he was right. He made some terrible pass calls in the 4th quarter in really obvious run situations when they could not stop Gurley. McVay will sometimes back off the run but he just can't bring himself to back off the passing game no matter how much the situation calls for it.

However, it was a great tough win on the road. All's well that ends well.

 

[IowaRam]

Bring on the 9ers

[Corbin]

Grateful to have an offense that when passing isn't working, can just truck defenses with the run. Bulldozing offensive line and an absolute gift of a running back in Todd Gurley.

M -V -P

Wait.... isn’t Tom Brady the default MVP?! Hmmmmm :banghead:

And 7-0 vs the AFC. A win against the Chiefs will have him sweeping the AFC South & AFC West.

Is there such a thing as a disappointing win?[/QUOTE
NO!!!!

 

[Mackeyser]

Brees may win the MVP as Goff and Gurley split the vote

 

[1maGoh]

Anyone know the last time the rams won a game that was below 32 degrees ?

I believe during the game the broadcast team said never.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

Todd Gurley ran for 200+! It wasn't due to one large run either! He's out there cutting back, breaking tackles, slipping through tiny creases.That was the prettiest rushing performance I've seen in a while!

 

[VFerragamo]

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but did anyone catch word of severity of injuries in post game pressers etc?

Am assuming Brockers and Whitworth are both good to go based on their returns to action but am concerned about Saffold and Kupp...

 

[kmramsfan]

Tough win. Probably going to be one of my least watched 2018 Rams recordings.
I'm still whizzed about the horse collar cheap shot by Stewart. I think he should have been ejected for that play. Always been sort of a loose cannon type of player.
