INGLEWOOD, CA - The Los Angeles Rams (4-4) offense was sluggish in the first half, but their defense kept them in the game and helped them beat the Los Angeles Chargers (0-7) 24-9 at SoFi Stadium.
“I couldn’t care less about what their record is,” McVay said. “I would hope that we’re mature and professional enough to know that we have to be able to have the right focus, concentration, level of urgency.”
Matthew Stafford completed 17 of his 25 passes for 157 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Puka Nacua caught 11 passes for 80 yards and 1 touchdown. Blake Corum had 11 carries for 73 yards and 1 touchdown, and Kyren Williams had 10 carries for 56 yards and 1 touchdown.
