Matthew Stafford threw a season-high five touchdowns, Davante Adams had three TD receptions and the Los Angeles Rams earned a convincing 35-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the rain on Sunday at London.
Stafford, who entered the day as the league leader in passing yards (1,684) and was tied for fourth in touchdown passes (12), completed 21 of 33 passes for 182 yards. He threw five touchdown passes for the fourth time in his career -- and the first time since 2015 -- despite being without leading receiver Puka Nacua, who was sidelined with an ankle injury.
Adams filled that void for the Rams (5-2) with his third career three-touchdown game and first since 2020. Adams finished with five catches for 35 yards. His three touchdowns amassed a total of 4 yards.
The Rams took a shutout into the fourth quarter before Jacksonville (4-3) got on the board with 9:06 left on Travis Hunter's first career touchdown catch, a 34-yarder from Trevor Lawrence. Hunter finished with a game and career-high 101 yards on eight catches.
Lawrence connected on 23 of 48 passes for 296 yards.
From the onset of Sunday's game, the Rams set the tone. The Los Angeles defense started by holding Jacksonville to consecutive three-and-outs, and the offense began with consecutive touchdown drives.
Stafford found rookie Konata Mumpfield for his first career TD catch from 5 yards out on the opening drive. He connected with Adams for a 2-yard score to make it 14-0 with 1:51 left in the first quarter.
After a missed field goal from Jacksonville's Cam Little, Los Angeles made it 21-0 with 4:37 left in the half on a 1-yard pass from Stafford to Adams.
With no Nacua, who led the league in catches entering Sunday, Stafford completed passes to 10 different players. No Rams player had more than five catches or 47 receiving yards.
The Jaguars outgained the Rams 358-271 but were hindered by 13 penalties for 119 yards and multiple wasted opportunities.
Jacksonville crossed midfield on five consecutive possessions over the second and third quarters but did not score points on any of those trips. After Little's missed field goal, the next three drives ended on fourth-down stops at or inside the Rams' 30 and the fifth ended with a punt.
The Jaguars allowed seven sacks, bringing that tally to 14 over their current two-game losing streak.
After Hunter's touchdown, the Rams responded with the third scoring connection from Stafford to Adams to restore the four-touchdown advantage with 4:58 left.
