The Los Angeles Rams dazzled in Matthew Stafford’s debut, defeating the Chicago Bears 34-14. All eyes were on LA’s new signal caller Sunday night at SoFi Stadium, and from the start the Rams seemed ready to star under the primetime lights.
The victory marks Sean McVay’s fifth Week 1 win in five seasons. While the margin of victory was fairly wide in the end, it was a one-score game at halftime. There were a number of encouraging individual performances, especially driven by the franchise’s cornerstones, but there were also some results that may be cause for concern over the course of the next 16 regular season games.
