Pretty much a perfect opener for the Rams, who executed on both sides of the ball in a blowout win over the Bears under the lights at SoFi Stadium. The breathless off season hype around the new Sean McVay-Matthew Stafford partnership counts as one summer narrative that was worth all the honking. Stafford looked extremely comfortable running the Rams' offense, throwing three touchdown passes while returning the deep-strike element that went M.I.A. from McVay's scheme in the final years of the Jared Goff era. Late in the fourth quarter, with the game well in hand, NBC cameras caught a beaming Stafford working his way down the Rams' sideline. The man had a glow. This is a career rebirth with championship-level upside.

Great couple of lines!!

Over reaction Monday? Or prophetic?

Can't say anything bad about his performance....or the performance of the offense. I want to see it happen again, quickly. It was a lot of fun to watch.

3 play drive; 80 yards; TD
4 play drive; 75 yards; TD
8 play drive; 75 yards; TD
12 play drive; 75 yards; TD .... Hendo ran like hell. Stafford was 3 of 5. Kupp had an amazing 16 yard run on a 15 yard pass play for a first down (on 3rd and 13).

Stafford completed passes of:
67 (Jefferson)
56 (Kupp)
37 (Higbee)
19 (Woods)
18 (DJax)
17 (Higbee, Kupp, Hendo
15 (Kupp)
13 (Jefferson)

That's 10 passes of 11 yards or more out of 20 completions. And the best pass of the night might have been that 1 yard at the back of the end zone to Woods!!! See anything interesting there on that list? 5 different guys on the top 5 longest pass plays.

Like I said, a lot of fun to watch.
