Ethan Price: "Derrick Henry turned this into a track meet—397 yards and 5 touchdowns on 24 carries—but what actually broke Los Angeles was Joe Burrow throwing 5 interceptions into a secondary that barely had to work for them. The Chargers didn't need to pass." Talia Morgan: "Los Angeles's line gave up 8 sacks and turned it over 5 times—that's a team playing with its hands tied before the Chargers ever touched the ball. At 4-5 and sitting outside the playoffs, the Rams can't afford another afternoon like this one." Elise Carter: "The Chargers didn't just beat Los Angeles—they announced themselves. Henry at 397 yards and 5 touchdowns doesn't happen by accident, and neither does a 41-point margin against a division rival that's still clawing for a playoff spot. The Rams gave it away 5 times and got shredded up front, and at 4-5 that's the kind of collapse that doesn't get forgotten before

The Chargers ran over the Rams 48-7, with Derrick Henry accounting for the entire afternoon on 24 carries for 397 yards and 5 touchdowns. Los Angeles turned the ball over 5 times and allowed 8 sacks while Joe Burrow threw 5 interceptions on 13 of 29 passing, and the Chargers' defense finished the job with Akheem Mesidor recording 4 sacks. The ground game told the whole story: Chargers 397 rushing yards, Rams 98.

Nobody wanted to play defence. Rams won the shootout 37-31. Joe Burrow did the damage for Rams — 22/29, 370 yards, 2 TD. Josh Allen was steady for Bills — 24/35, 288 yards, 1 TD — in a losing effort. Make it 4 consecutive games past 250 for Josh Allen. Total yards: Rams 502, Bills 415.

Rams took care of Giants, 24-20. Aaron Rodgers was steady for Giants — 11/19, 207 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT — in a losing effort. Brian Burns got after the quarterback for Giants — 2 sacks. On the ground: Rams 174, Giants 75.

The 49ers beat the Rams 78-50 in a game that looked like two different offenses playing two different defenses. San Francisco's Brock Purdy threw for 584 yards and 8 touchdowns on 23 completions while Mike Evans caught 10 passes for 277 yards and 6 scores, exploiting a Rams secondary that gave up 6 sacks. Los Angeles moved the ball—Joe Burrow went 27 of 50 for 437 yards and 4 touchdowns—but 5 interceptions and 6 total turnovers made the difference; San Francisco's turnover margin of plus-3 explains the 74.2 percent win probability that the numbers generate from this margin, meaning the outcome was never really in doubt once the ball security issues took hold.
