WOODLAND HILLS, Ca. The Los Angeles Rams got the job done on Sunday and while winning is the only thing that matters, I made five predictions last week for the team. Let's see how they did.
NOTE: Predictions are italicized
Nacua torched the Colts in 2023, going for nine catches, 163 yards, and the game-winning touchdown in overtime in Indianapolis. On home soil, I predict Nacua goes for 12 catches, for 210 yards and two touchdowns.
Not quite but close enough. Nacua had 13 catches on 15 targets for 170 and one touchdown. Nacua was brilliant on the day as he builds a strong early-season resume for Offensive Player of the Year.
I predict Young will secure sacks five and six on the season. A two sack day sounds nice for the star man.
Close. Young put in another phenomenal performance as he builds his candidacy for defensive player of the year. Young did secure his fifth sack through four games, recording one in each contest while being a perpetual force in the backfield.
Daniel Jones is having a monster year but old habits love to die hard, and the Rams are known for inducing turnovers. The Rams will force two fumbles, one on Jones, and he'll throw an interception to Cobie Durant.
Another close one. Jones had two turnovers but probably should've committed four. Two picks by Kam Curl is what is stated on the stat sheet but Kamren Kinchens had another pick in his chest that he dropped and Jared Verse strip-sacked Jones, but the Colts were able to recover.
Corum has the speed to turn the corner and that's why I see the Michigan man record the first 100+ yard day of his career. I also see Williams putting the game on ice, reversing the Rams' typical usage of the two.
Not on Sunday. Williams came out strong and he did put the game on ice but the Rams did not reverse their usage and Corum was held in check. Corum had nine carries for 21 yards.
Nope. Ferguson was made inactive once again.
