face the Las Vegas Raiders (-2). According to reporters at SoFi, newly acquired Baker Mayfield got all of the first-team reps with the starters.
So, in just under two days, Mayfield will be tasked with leading an offense without Cooper Kupp. The Rams are also shorthanded defensively, with Aaron Donald effectively being shut down for the season.
This is a step up in class for a 5-7 Raiders team that has just played the Chargers and Seahawks defense. And even though Donald is out, the Rams have trended toward being an above-average defense.
