Rams run all over Raiders, 35-21: Instant analysis of LA's big win

Riding a two-game losing streak and sitting in last place in the division, the Los Angeles Rams were in desperate need of a win on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. And after all the injuries and criticism they've faced, they answered with a strong win on the road. They dominated the first half and built a 28-6 lead before halftime, scoring touchdowns on four straight drives. The wheels then came off in the second half with four consecutive drives that resulted in two punts and two giveaways. Kyren Williams fumbled on the first play of one drive and Colby Parkinson dropped a pass that turned into an interception on the first play of another drive, causing the offense to sputter.Fortunately, they got back on track in the fourth quarter and moved the ball well after the Raiders cut it to a 10-point game, going 70 yards in 12 plays and burning 6:38 off the clock to ice it with Blake Corum's 4-yard touchdown run. That essentially put the game out of reach for Las Vegas, which added a field goal in the fourth quarter to make it a 14-point game.The Rams rushed for 199 yards in the win, led by Kyren Williams' 99 yards and Corum's 93 yards.
