-Riddled Offense
The Los Angeles Rams pulled off a stunning 29-23 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, thanks in large part to a late touchdown pass from quarterback Jared Goff to wide receiver Trishton Nacua. The Rams were able to overcome an injury-riddled offense and a tough Colts defense to come away with the win.
Goff, who was playing with a fractured thumb, threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns in the win. He was able to make some big plays down the stretch, including a crucial touchdown pass to Nacua with just over a minute left in regulation. The pass gave the Rams a 23-20 lead and set up the overtime period.
The Rams defense was also able to make some key plays throughout the game, including a crucial fourth-quarter interception by safety John Johnson III. The interception set up the Rams’ game-winning field goal in overtime.
The Rams were without several key offensive players due to injury, including running back Todd Gurley, wide receiver Cooper Kupp, and tight end Tyler Higbee. Despite the injuries, the Rams were able to find a way to win and move to 6-3 on the season.
Goff’s performance was especially impressive considering the circumstances. He was able to make some big plays despite being hampered by his thumb injury, and his touchdown pass to Nacua was one of the biggest plays of the game.
The Rams will now look to build on their impressive win as they prepare for their next game against the Seattle Seahawks. With a win, they can move into sole possession of first place in the NFC West. It won’t be easy, but if they can continue to make plays like they did against the Colts, they should be in good shape.
