INGLEWOOD – Through two quarters on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, the Rams had run the ball three times for a total of 5 yards. The offense that Sean McVay had established six years ago on the legs of Todd Gurley opening up space for the air game had seemed to lose its identity, and as a result the Rams trailed by three at halftime.
But when the second half resumed, McVay called a carry for Kyren Williams that went 17 yards. Then a dive by Williams. Then a pitch to the outside by the second-year RB, then another carry. Then a couple handoffs to backup Ronnie Rivers, then back to Williams for two more.
Eight consecutive runs later, the Rams had moved 60 yards before quarterback Matthew Stafford dropped back. The defense softened up to defend the run, Stafford found receiver Cooper Kupp for the go-ahead touchdown.
Kupp’s first score of the year, and the rediscovered balance on offense, set up the Rams’ 26-9 win over the Cardinals.
After rushing just twice for 4 yards in the first half, Williams finished the game with a career-high 158 yards on 20 carries, averaging 7.9 per attempt.
“He was running like an absolute man on a mission today,” McVay said.
Opening the first half, it wasn’t clear the Rams (3-3) would find that rhythm on offense. They picked up a first down, then got no further as Stafford’s throws went off target. It was the first time this season the Rams failed to score on their opening possession.
Stafford found Kupp along the sideline for 37 yards to open the next drive. With first down at the Cardinals 11, Stafford overthrew Puka Nacua, threw behind Kupp, then overthrew Tutu Atwell. The Rams had to settle for a field goal.
Consecutive three-and-outs, both of which ended in sacks of Stafford, allowed the Cardinals (1-5) to take a 9-3 lead as the defense, despite some losses of containment on third-down, limited the damage to field goals. A 49-yard connection between Stafford and Kupp set up a field goal before the half and got the Rams within three.
But with the rushing attack stuck in the mud, the Rams went 0-for-5 on third down in the first half.
It wasn’t that the Rams didn’t want to run the ball. Rushes were called by McVay, but the Cardinals do such a good job of disguising their looks at the line of scrimmage that the Rams checked out of those plays for safer passes.
“We already suggested, ‘Run it, run the ball,’ ” right guard Kevin Dotson said. “Once we started running, we’d seen that we could.”
It began with a dive off the left guard. Williams broke one tackle, and five Cardinals were required to bring him down. Another dive, another big push by the offensive line. Williams ran off the right tackle on the next call, and picked up 14.
A pitch to the right, and he gained another first down, and Williams popped up, shaking his head almost at disbelief in himself as he went to the sideline for a breather.
“It was so fun,” Williams said. “You make a good run, you hyped up, but when you see an o-lineman come running at you, smiling, hyped up, everything, it makes it so much better because you know what them boys are doing up front for you.”
As Williams grabbed some water, the offensive line kept working, blocking for Rivers on two carries before Williams returned for to complete the eight straight rushes.
That’s a lot of work for the offensive line, but it put the defense on its heels for the rest of the game.
“It’s the best. Because we as offensive linemen are getting tired, but, ‘Do it again,’ because we know that benefits the whole team if we can run it,” Dotson said. “I believe that should be our first option before we start passing, really test the run. Just see how they deal with it.”
The third-down conversion rate jumped to 4-for-7 after Williams was activated to open the third. After two field goals in five first-half possessions, the Rams scored on their first four possession in the second: The Kupp TD catch, two field goals and a 5-yard carry by Williams in which he extended his arms to get the ball past the goal line.
And after weeks of McVay imploring his team to play complementary football, the Rams turned two second-half turnovers – Christian Rozeboom’s first career interception and a fumble forced by Byron Young and recovered by Quentin Lake – into 10 points.
“We make it more interesting than sometimes it needs to be,” McVay said, “but I love this group and I love the resolve that they showed and the way that they were able to finish the game.”
