NFL Week 14's Biggest Winner? That's Easy.
The LA Rams' demolition of the team with the NFL's best record on Monday Night Football Shifts the Entire Playoff Picture. Get Ready for a Wacky Regular Season Finish.
From CBS Sports:
Entering Monday night, Matthew Stafford had never beaten a team five games over .500 in his career -- an incredible 0-17 record.
But who needs history?
The veteran gunslinger put together his finest game in a Rams uniform as Los Angeles picked up its best win of the season, defeating the Cardinals 30-23 in a game in which their stars simply played better than Arizona's.
- Stafford tossed three touchdowns and no interceptions. The Rams improved to 6-0 when he does not throw a pick.
- Cooper Kupp continued his unbelievable season with 13 catches for 123 yards and a score and Odell Beckham Jr. caught a touchdown for the third straight game -- his longest streak since 2015.
- Aaron Donald had three sacks, including one with no time remaining to clinch the win.
- Los Angeles picked off Kyler Murray twice and held DeAndre Hopkins to just 54 receiving yards.
- The Rams did this all without Jalen Ramsey and several other key players who were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.The win also prevented Arizona from clinching a playoff spot and tightened up the top of the NFC playoff race. Per NFL Research, this is only the third time no team has clinched a playoff berth through Week 14 since the league moved to a 16-game season in 1978.
Conclusion: It's going to be a thrilling final month across the league.
