Rams Reclaim Offensive Identity With Run-First Win Over Raiders

Overview

• The Rams beat the Las Vegas Raiders 35-21 on Sunday in a game defined by a shift to a physical, run-first offense that controlled possession and tempo.
• Kyren Williams and Blake Corum each rushed for more than 90 yards and scored a touchdown, combining to carry the attack and break multiple long runs that sustained drives.
• Los Angeles ran the ball 38 times, leaned on three-tight-end sets and saw strong blocking from its offensive line and tight ends, which opened lanes and kept down-and-distance manageable.
• Persistent problems remained despite the win, with the special-teams units making costly errors, the team flagged for seven penalties for 90 yards, and several offensive skill players limited by injury.
• Coaches and reporters call the game a blueprint the Rams must repeat to make the change stick, and the next tests are whether this physical identity holds up week to week and against tougher opponents.
