LA Rams' Surprising Resilience: From a Seahawks Victory to Holding Ground Against the 49ers
Today's showdown at the So-Fi Stadium was no exception in the football world, where every game is a fresh episode of drama. The LA Rams, the team many assumed would be left eating the 49ers' dust, stepped up and showed the world that they're not to be underestimated.
First things first, let's talk about the elephant in the room. Or rather, the elephant who wasn't in the room. Cam Akers. The star Running Back decided to take an unexpected bench vacation, courtesy of a coaching decision.
After churning out a rather pedestrian-like 27 yards from 22 carries last week against the Seahawks, some might say the vacation was well-earned or that he needed the extra time to pack up his bags.
But in his stead, back-up RB Kyren Williams didn’t just step into Akers' shoes; he danced in them, prancing his way to two touchdowns against the 49ers.
Now, shifting gears to our man behind the center, Mathew Stafford. The man was all sparks and fireworks, throwing for over 300 yards. Granted, Stafford's arm didn’t secure a win against the 49ers, but the game's 30-23 score is a testament to the Rams' resistance. Who remembers their dominant 30-13 win over the Seahawks just the other week? That's right, we do.
Many are left wondering, with such a performance, should the Rams be discounted in any postseason talks? The answer is a resounding, witty, and charismatic "No." And yes, charisma can be applied to words on a page. Even if this team can pull off such performances with their star RB sitting pretty on the sidelines, imagine what they could do when he's back in action.
While LA may have faced a setback today, they've sent out a clear message to the rest of the league: Do not underestimate us. As the season progresses, if there’s one thing the Rams need to dial-up however, it's their defense; which was decent today, but not overpowering.
And as for Akers, here's hoping he’s back and ready to go because a team with this much heart and potential is too good not to watch.
