Quarter by Quarter Breakdown
First Quarter: Baltimore drew first blood with a 7:38 opening drive capped by a 37-yard field goal from Tyler Loop. Derrick Henry moved the chains with consecutive power runs, but the Rams defence stiffened near the red zone.
Second Quarter: The Rams replied with a long drive (12 plays, 48 yards) before Joshua Karty levelled the score (36-yard FG). Both teams missed opportunities, with Baltimore failing to capitalise on multiple red zone visits, including a costly turnover on downs near the goal line. Rams’ star receiver Davante Adams began to find rhythm, making key conversions to set up the field goal.
Third Quarter: This period proved decisive. On their opening second-half drive, the Rams surged 76 yards, with Kyren Williams’ physical running and Matthews Stafford’s precise passing culminating in a 3-yard rush touchdown (Williams) and a 36-yard field goal. A Ravens fumble led to a rapid-fire Stafford TD pass to Tyler Higbee, swinging momentum fully to LA at 17-3.
Fourth Quarter: The Ravens, trailing by two scores, rotated Tyler Huntley in at quarterback for a spark, but the Rams’ defence held firm. Sacks from Jared Verse and Byron Young quashed any hopes of a comeback. Baltimore advanced into the red zone twice, but time expired as LA ran out the clock with Matthew Stafford kneeling for the win.
Key Player Observations
Rams:
– Matthew Stafford was efficient, linking up repeatedly with Davante Adams and Tyler Higbee to keep the chains moving, including a perfect 8-yard touchdown to Higbee.
– Kyren Williams dominated the ground game, totalling over 70 rushing yards after contact and netting two red zone scores (1 rush TD, 1 receiving TD).
– Jared Verse and Byron Young anchored the edge, registering multiple sacks and blown-up runs (4 team sacks, verse accounting for 1.5 and a forced fumble). Versatility at linebacker helped contain Derrick Henry and force key third down stops.
Ravens:
– Derrick Henry was the lone standout, rumbling for over 80 yards and converting several third downs, but became boxed in as the game script shifted.
– Tyler Huntley replaced Cooper Rush in the second half, running for 2 first downs and connecting with Zay Flowers and DeAndre Hopkins on chunk plays. However, a lack of protection (4 sacks allowed in Q4) and a costly offensive holding penalty derailed red zone efficiency.
– Defensively, Nate Landman led all players in tackles and stopped multiple Baltimore rushing attempts behind the line of scrimmage.
Turning Points/Key Events
Two third quarter moments defined the contest:
- Rams’ 76-yard Opening Drive (Q3): LA showcased balance, mixing in Puka Nacua and Williams for chunks of yardage before a powerful 3-yard Williams TD. The efficient pace set a tone the Ravens never matched.
- Zay Flowers Fumble/Reversal: After Flowers looked to break a big gain, Jared Verse forced and Quentin Lake recovered a fumble, handing Stafford a short field. One play later, Tyler Higbee’s 8-yard TD catch ballooned the gap to 17-3, effectively sealing the game.
Lamar Jackson’s injury absence continues to haunt the Ravens, limiting their explosiveness and adaptability under centre. The team’s inability to finish in the red zone (twice stalling on the 1-yard line) left crucial points on the field.

Final Word
This was a statement win for the Rams, who executed a superb second-half game plan and exploited Baltimore’s offensive frailties. Key turnovers and clinical short-field finishes separated the sides. For the Ravens, the bye week is a chance to regroup and possibly reset at the quarterback position, while the Rams can build on a defence-led identity and a dynamic Williams/Stafford partnership.
