13-0 Rams. They should be up 28-0, but Commanders defense has been scrappy when needed.
The Rams gained 242 yards in the first half and converted 7-9 on third down. But the D forced two turnovers and played better in the red zone. Only 13 points allowed. Offense with a massive dud so far. Massive.
Rams should probably be routing Commanders by now. But two fumbles hurt. Defense and special teams carrying the load.

Rams haven't used Kyren Williams on this drive since his fumble.
Brutal way to end a drive with so much promise. Fumble by Williams inside the 10, Rams have three points from two trips inside the opponent 10-yard line so far today.
Another impressive drive for the Rams... but this one ends with a lost fumble inside the 10.

3-0 after one. Commanders offense doing a good job keeping Rams offense on bench.
DL Nick Hampton had a chance at a full Van Ginkle but elected to knock down the Sam Howell short pass on 4th and 1. Rams ball at their 12.
Kyren Williams is already a problem. https://t.co/rELkHoXjUn
