The home crowd at SoFi Stadium witnessed the Rams' offense accumulate a total of 354 yards. The rushing attack contributed significantly with 135 yards on 31 attempts, averaging about four yards per carry and scoring one touchdown. The passing game saw the quarterback throw for 231 yards with a completion rate of roughly forty-eight percent and one touchdown pass that went for thirty-one yards.


Defensively, the Rams managed to sack the opposing quarterback twice for a loss of sixteen yards and forced one fumble. They also defended two passes while holding their opponents to three three-and-outs during the game.

Special teams had mixed results; while punting was effective with an average net yardage of around forty-four per punt and two punts landing inside the twenty-yard line, field goal kicking was less successful. The kicker made only one out of three field goal attempts – his longest being from forty-one yards – giving him a success rate of roughly thirty-three percent for this game.


On third down conversions, which are crucial for maintaining drives and controlling possession time, the Rams succeeded fifty-six percent of their sixteen attempts. Red zone efficiency stood out as they capitalized on both opportunities they had within their opponent's twenty-yard line.
