- Kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
- Los Angeles enters 8-2 on a five-game winning streak, while Tampa Bay is 6-4 after dropping three of its past four, including a 44-32 loss to Buffalo.
- The Rams placed three starters on injured reserve this week: TE Tyler Higbee, RT Rob Havenstein and S Quentin Lake.
- The Buccaneers ruled out CB Jamel Dean, edge rusher Haason Reddick, RB Bucky Irving and G Ben Bredeson, with WR Chris Godwin listed as questionable.
- Sportsbooks have the Rams favored by about 6.5 points with a total around 49–49.5, as narratives center on Matthew Stafford’s MVP-caliber form, Puka Nacua’s reduced post-injury production, and an expanded role for RB Sean Tucker after his three-touchdown outing.
