The great success of Wilson sends Rams to 8-0 with a victory of 29-27 over the Pack
Ramik Wilson was not the most likely candidate on the Los Angeles Rams superstar list to make the decisive play at the end of the fourth quarter of a tight game with Green Bay.
However, the backup linebacker went off, flying downfield in kickoff coverage and hitting Ty Montgomery to force a whirlwind to recover.
"It was one of the biggest crashes I've ever been in," Wilson said. "So we both feel it, and he lost the ball."
In the middle of a perfect regular season, these Rams begin to feel like a great success.
Greg Zuerlein made a 34-yard field goal with 2:05 left before Wilson forced the loose ball that allowed the Rams to keep Aaron Rodgers stuck on the touchline in the final minutes of the 29-27 victory. Los Angeles over the Packers on Sunday.
Jared Goff passed for 295 yards and three touchdowns while the Rams (8-0) were tested severely by the Packers (3-3-1). Both teams recovered from 10-point deficits to take an advantage against a bipartisan crowd and collector.
But the Rams extended their best start since 1969 by capitalizing on two crushing special team errors committed by Green Bay.
Marquez Valdés-Scantling caught a 40-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers with 8:50 to play to put the Packers ahead 27-26, but Goff and Gurley led the Rams into the range for Zuerlein's second field goal in the last room after 25 yard by JK Scott.
Montgomery then coughed his return, and Wilson pounced on the ball.
"That play did not lose the game, but it took away the chance to win," Rodgers said.
Montgomery refused to speak after the game. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the man back should take a touchback.
"You trust your players in difficult decisions, closed decisions," McCarthy said. "I think Ty was just trying to make a play."
Rodgers threw for 286 yards, but did not get a snap in the final 5:20.
Josh Reynolds caught two touchdown passes for Los Angeles. Gurley had 114 rushing yards and 81 receiving yards, and scored a touchdown in his franchise by tying the eleventh consecutive game on a 30-yard pass in the third quarter.
"That was probably my favorite (victory) of the year," said Goff, who went 19-for-35 without an interception.
HOLLYWOOD CHEESE
Both teams had strong contingents of fans in the Colosseum, where Green Bay won the first Super Bowl in 1967. The Packers were greeted by a noisy group of California Cheeseheads on the first Green Bay trip to Los Angeles since the NFL returned in 2016.
The Packers were grateful for the size of their fan base, which seemed similar to the participation of the Minnesota Vikings earlier this season and the Philadelphia Eagles last season.
"I do not know if I've ever seen anything like that," McCarthy said. "Obviously, I have not been in a game here in decades, but it was a great atmosphere."
GOLDEN BEARS
Goff had a pre-game conversation with Rodgers, his product of Cal and one of the idols of his childhood while growing up in Northern California.
When asked what it felt like to beat Rodgers, Goff responded, "I do not think about it that way, we beat the Packers today, it was fun to compete with him in the same field, a player's hell, a boy that I am." . I'm a fan of. It was fun ".
Run it
At the last minute, Gurley ran 17 yards for a first downward clef, but stopped before reaching the end zone, allowing the Rams to run the time instead of returning the ball to Green Bay. The owners of their fantasy teams probably lost their heads and millions of dollars were decided on bets when the Packers covered the spread.
The NFL scoring leader does not care.
"Man, forget the fantasy," Gurley said with a smile. "Forget Las Vegas, we got the victory, so that's all that matters."
DOWN EARLY
The Rams faced their biggest deficit of the season when they lost 10-0 at the beginning of the second quarter. They even batted for the first time in their first three attempts in the two-year career of coach Sean McVay.
GURLEY AND CRAZYLEGS
Gurley's scoring catch put Los Angeles ahead in the third quarter. The hoarding also extended Gurley's streak in the TD to tie the Rams record set by Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch in 1950-51. Gurley leads the NFL with 15 touchdowns, and became the fourth player in league history to score at least 15 touchdowns in the first eight games of the season, joining Jim Brown (17 in 1958) and Priest Holmes (15 in 2002 and 2004).
SHIELDS SHINES
Sam Shields made several big plays for LA against his former team. The veteran defensive back caught a pass from Johnny Hekker in a false clearance, and later knocked down a punt at Green Bay 1 to establish the Rams defense for their safety. Shields played seven seasons with the Packers before his fourth concussion in 2016 almost ended his career, but he returned to the NFL with the Rams this season.
