Inserted into the game just two days after he was claimed off waivers, Baker Mayfield rallied the Rams past the Raiders.
Josh Jacobs rushed for 99 yards and the only touchdown for the Raiders , whose three-game winning streak ended in humiliating fashion. Less than four weeks after Las Vegas lost in former ESPN analyst Jeff Saturday’s NFL coaching debut with Indianapolis, the Raiders lost to a quarterback who joined his new team less than 48 hours before the game.
Coach Sean McVay swiftly turned over his offense to Mayfield instead of backups John Wolford and Bryce Perkins, who have both been ineffective in place of injured Matthew Stafford in recent weeks. With McVay apparently giving detailed instructions into his helmet before each play, Mayfield immediately got the Rams moving with three completions of at least 20 yards in his first two series. Los Angeles had only 26 such completions in its first 12 games — third-fewest in the NFL.
