Rams Quarterback Jared Goff threw his first NFL touchdown pass to Malcolm Brown, a 10-yard one handed catch for the score. Goff warmed up once the Rams established a strong ground game.
“It did take a drive or two to get in rhythm, but once I did I was happy I was left in there,” said Goff.
Running Back Todd Gurley made his L.A. debut. Gurley rushed for 20 yards on four carries, and scored on a 3-yard TD run. He is recovering from a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL).
