[panxing18]

tle Seahawks The Los Angeles Rams improved to 5-0 on the season with a 33-31 nail-biter against the Seattle Seahawks (2-3) in Week 5. Here are seven stats from Sunday:The Rams improved to 5-0 on the season with the win in Seattle on Sunday. The Rams are now 10-1 in games played outside the Coliseum under Sean McVay. Dating back to the 2017 season Authentic Greg Gaines Jersey , the Rams have now won five consecutive road games. This stretch marks the sixth time in franchise history that a Rams team has won five straight road contests. The last time it was accomplished was in 2001, when the Rams won all eight of their road games. With the Monday night game yet to be played, Todd Gurley leads the NFL in rushing touchdowns through Week 5. He tallied two 2-yard rushing touchdowns and one 5-yard rushing score on Sunday. He has now scored a touchdown in eight consecutive regular season games.Robert Woods lead the offense in yardage on Sunday, tallying 92 yards on five receptions and added the longest run of the game (56 yards). Yesterday’s contest marked the 100th career start for starting guard Rodger Saffold. Since entering the league, Saffold has played four different positions along the offensive line: 44 starts at left guard, 38 at left tackle, 13 at right guard, and five at right tackle.Aaron Donald notched his third sack of the season on Sunday. In doing so, he passed Grant Wistrom (41.5) on the Rams’ all-time sack list (with 42.0). Starting linebacker Cory Littleton blocked a Michael Dickson punt on Sunday. It’s his second blocked punt of the season Todd Gurley Jersey , and the 4th of his career. Bonus: Despite missing the game-tying extra point - which would’ve made the score 31 all - Cairo Santos made both field goal tries on Sunday, including the game-sealer from 39 yards out with just over six minutes left to play. The Times used that age old slur, that unspeakable slur...and Rams fans were livid."Many Rams fans went to bed on Super Bowl Sunday with their heads still spinning. How could their team have wasted a defensive gem by only mustering a single field goal against an admittedly great game plan by Bill Belichick and Brian Flores? Many woke up still feeling empty only to receive a second gut punch courtesy of the Los Angeles Times’ front page headline which read:Now to be real, nobody expected any joy to be found in the headlines the day after a Super Bowl loss, and fluff is for teddy bears, but wow. All rivalries are loaded with unflattering nicknames for foes, and in the Rams case, rivals have routinely gone to “Lambs”. It rhymes with Rams, it’s a little sheep Aaron Donald Jersey , why not? Anyone who has been a Rams fan for any period of time is certainly familiar with the taunt. However, in this case Rams fans weren’t trading barbs with 49ers fans or Raiders fans, it was the Los Angeles Times’ Super Bowl headline. Thanks!Nevermind that the Rams had been tied in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl and had virtually shut down Tom Brady’s offense; they lost, so they weren’t Rams, they were Lambs. On social media the outrage was obvious from the jump, and even some fans of other teams (while loving it) admitted the headline was rather harsh. But were Rams fans just being over-sensitive following a Super Bowl loss? Well, let’s provide some context. Would the Denver Post write, “Donks, Not Broncos”? Would the San Jose Mercury write C.J. Anderson Jersey , “Whiners, not 49ers”?Or what about, “Kitten, not Tiger Woods”? Watch out, Gabby Douglas, you got the silver in 2015, kind of a “Shabby” showing. Anyway, you get the picture, it was unprofessional. Rams special teamer Jake McQuaide was even fuming. Sports editor Angel Rodriguez attempted to lower the heat with this explanation:That may very well be the reasoning Samson Ebukam Jersey , but nevertheless, at best it made the Times editorial staff appear to be somewhat out of touch with any of the nuance of the Rams fan base. But amid the complaints and threats to cancel subscriptions, the Times is now admitting the mistake and apologizing. Who knows if the Rams themselves complained, or if it was the surge of angry fans alone, but the Times appears to be realizing that the Rams are now a serious presence in the LA sports landscape, with a growing following that likely only trails the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Dodgers. Being critical of the teams’ shortcomings is a must, but pot shots won’t likely go unnoticed.
