Rams-Colts INSTANT REACTION SHOW: WIN!

The LA Rams are 2-0 following their 27-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday! Though it wasn’t a perfect game for the Rams by any means, it is always good to work out your issues during a win and not a loss.

Here are 10 instant notes on the game:

• Matthew Stafford looks great and the interception was caused by a fingertip deflection at the offensive line, for what that’s worth
• Darrell Henderson left with a rib injury and did not return
• Sony Michel had 10 carries for 46 yards in his first real chance to play with the Rams
• Cooper Kupp’s 163 yards is the second-highest total of his career and he’s already matched his 2020 touchdown total (3)
• Leonard Floyd should have had more sacks
• The Rams offensive line did pretty good, allowing one sack (on a whiff by Andrew Whitworth, which can happen) and three QB hits, two by DeForest Buckner
• LA’s run defense held Jonathan Taylor to 51 yards on 15 carries
• Why not more opportunities for the depth receivers? Van Jefferson had one catch and one drop on three targets, DeSean Jackson was nowhere to be seen
• Tyler Higbee only had one catch for eight yards on one target, so he may not be a part of the “every week” plan
• Aaron Donald didn’t have a sack but he had three QB hits and was no less a big part of the Rams getting three sacks, three tackles for a loss, and 11 QB hits
