Baker Mayfield leads 98-yard TD drive for win two days after being acquired by Rams

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Newly acquired Los Angeles Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield snapped a six-game losing streak in front of a SoFi crowd. With quarterback Matthew Stafford on injured reserve (spinal contusion) and backup John Wolford dealing with a neck injury, the Rams claimed Mayfield off waivers Tuesday after the Carolina Panthers released him Monday.

Mayfield took over for Wolford to start the Rams' second series. Mayfield led two touchdown drives late in the fourth quarter to help the Rams beat the Las Vegas Raiders, 17-16, Thursday night.
