Things have escalated quickly in the Rams favor at the start of the second half of Sunday’s game against the Ravens.
After Los Angeles scored a touchdown on Kyren Williams’ 3-yard run, a Baltimore turnover helped L.A. get right back into the end zone.
Receiver Zay Flowers fumbled while trying to get more yards on a short pass over the middle. Jared Verse forced the ball out with Quentin Lake coming up with the loose ball.
A couple of plays later, Matthew Stafford hit a wide-open Tyler Higbee for an 8-yard touchdown. With the extra point, the Rams had a 17-3 advantage.
Rams receiver Puka Nacua came back in to play on the possession after exiting the game with a foot injury during the second quarter.
The Rams have taken the lead in Baltimore.
Kyren Williams came up with a huge catch on fourth-and-3 to move the chains, then walked into the end zone on the next play to put Los Angeles up 10-3 on the Ravens early in the third quarter.
L.A. struggled to get things going on offense in the first half, but went up-tempo to start the third quarter. But the team was left with fourth-and-3 on Baltimore’s 33-yard line.
That’s when Williams got loose deep in the secondary on an off-schedule play, and made a nice catch falling to his backside for a 30-yard gain to the Baltimore 3. The Ravens were also flagged for defensive pass interference on the play, which was declined.
On the next snap, Williams got a handoff up the middle for a 3-yard touchdown — his second rushing score of the year.
Rams receiver Puka Nacua has come back into the game after being listed as questionable with a foot injury earlier in the contest.
The Rams and Ravens have each had their opportunities to put up more points, but the two teams are tied 3-3 at halftime.
Baltimore was poised to take a 10-3 lead going into the break. But Los Angeles stuffed three consecutive plays from the 1-yard line — including a fourth-and-goal run by Derrick Henry — to keep the score at 3-3.
Los Angeles’ special teams miscues downed the club in multiple instances in the first half. Kicker Joshua Karty’s poor 2025 continued as he inexplicably missed a 26-yard field goal off the right upright in the first quarter.
Karty then awkwardly kicked a 36-yard field goal through the uprights in the second quarter for the team’s only points of the half.
The Ravens then fumbled a punt late in the second quarter, but the Rams recovery was wiped off by a rare illegal man downfield penalty on the punt team. On the re-kick, Los Angeles let up a 35-yard punt return.
That nearly led to the Ravens taking the lead, but that’s when the defense stood tall, preventing Baltimore from getting into the end zone.
Rams receiver Puka Nacua had to exit the game in the second quarter with a foot injury and is questionable to return. But he was on the sideline with a helmet on before halftime and appears set to give it a go in the third quarter.
The Ravens also have injury issues, with outside linebacker Tavius Robinson (foot) and left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) questionable to return. Defensive lineman Brent Urban also went down midway through the second quarter and was being evaluated for a concussion.
The Rams will receive the second-half kickoff.
The Rams have an injury concern with one of their best players.
Receiver Puka Nacua came off the field early in the second quarter and is questionable to return with a foot injury.
Nacua went down after breaking up a pass to the end zone that could have been intercepted. Nacua tried to walk off the field to the sideline but ended up going down in pain with an apparent lower left leg injury.
Nacua was helped to the sideline by trainers before heading straight to the locker room for further evaluation.
Additionally, Rams No. 2 running back Blake Corum had to exit in the second quarter and is questionable to return with an ankle injury.
The Rams and Ravens are tied 3-3 in the second quarter.
Kyler Murray won’t be part of the Cardinals’ bid to avoid a fourth straight loss.
Murray missed two days of practice this week with a foot injury and was listed as questionable after returning for a limited workout on Friday. A report on Sunday morning indicated that he will miss the game and the Cardinals made it official 90 minutes ahead of their game in Indianapolis against the Colts.
Jacoby Brissett will start for the Cardinals and he’ll be backed up by Kedon Slovis, who was signed off of the practice squad this week.
