Rams’ Emmanuel Forbes Posts First 7-Target, 0-Catch Game by a CB Since 2022

The former Washington first-rounder, a late-2024 waiver claim, anchored a Week 12 victory that lifted Los Angeles into the NFC lead.

Overview

  • Against the Buccaneers in Week 12, Forbes logged five passes defensed and an interception while allowing no completions on seven targets.
  • NFL Next Gen Stats confirmed he is the first cornerback since Week 12 of 2022 to face seven or more targets without surrendering a catch.
  • Through 11 games this season, he has three interceptions, 13 passes defensed, one forced fumble, 27 tackles and an 84.9 passer rating allowed.
  • Washington cut Forbes at the end of 2024, and the Rams claimed him off waivers after an evaluation led by Les Snead, Sean McVay and Chris Shula.
  • Los Angeles’ defensive effort in the Buccaneers win, combined with the Eagles’ loss, put the Rams in sole possession of the NFC’s top spot.
