It was by no means a dominant performance, but the Los Angeles Rams overcame another lethargic first half to take down the Commanders, 20-13, and exceed the .500 mark for the first time this season at 5-4 overall.
Myles Garrett announced his long-awaited return with the bellow of a shofar. He and Aaron Donald looked every bit the hoped-for match made in heaven.
Puka Nacua did the heavy lifting in the receiving corps, despite the swarming attentions of the Commanders secondary. The run defense tightened up in the second half. The pass rush began getting home.
It was all in all a positive if imperfect day at the office, reflected in the 4-to-2 distribution of winners and losers below.
