On a night honoring Aaron Donald, Los Angeles dismantled the Buccaneers 34–7 on Sunday Night Football, extending their win streak to six and taking over first place in the NFC.
Erin Coscarelli and Ryan Anderson of LAFB Network break down Week 12’s most anticipated matchup, Matthew Stafford continued his MVP-caliber tear, completing 25 of 35 passes for 273 yards and three first-half touchdowns - two of them to Davante Adams, who finished with 62 yards. Puka Nacua added 97 on 10 catches, helping L.A.’s offense control the game from the opening whistle.
But the defense stole the show. The Rams suffocated Baker Mayfield and the Bucs, allowing a season-low 7 points, as Kobie Turner and Jared Verse each logged two sacks and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and Cobie Durant picked off Mayfield. Tampa Bay’s starter struggled to just 41 yards before exiting with a shoulder injury.
How complete was this win?! Stafford’s MVP chants echoing in SoFi, Colby Parkinson’s end-zone dance, the Forbes INT, Nate Landman’s extension, Kobie Turner’s breakout on Aaron Donald night, and whether Puka or Terrance Ferguson steps up with Tyler Higbee out.
Up next: a road test against the Panthers in Week 13, and the Lions looming in Week 15. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
