Rams 5-2 After Wembley Rout; Offseason Moves Mixed

The Los Angeles Rams are off to a strong 5-2 start and recently routed the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-7 at Wembley. They used the Week 8 break to release highlight compilations of the season’s top offensive and defensive plays. Key offseason additions—WR Davante Adams (two years, $44 million) and DT Poona Ford (three years, $27.6 million)—have produced mixed results: Adams has six touchdowns in seven games but ranks 25th in yards per route run, while young players such as Tutu Atwell and Terrance Ferguson have been underwhelming. ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell placed the Rams’ defense in an “Exactly Average” tier, reflecting uneven play despite the team’s record. Head coach Sean McVay and veteran QB Matthew Stafford are steering a roster built to contend for a Super Bowl, and the club aims to address inconsistencies as the season progresses.
