The Los Angeles Rams’ decision to pull the trigger on a blockbuster trade for quarterback Matthew Stafford in March looks better with each passing game. Stafford stepped once again for the Rams on Sunday, leading them to an impressive 34-24 win over the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Stafford had a big night that saw him complete 27 passes out of 38 attempted and throwing for 343 yards and four touchdowns. This included a 75-yards TD pass to veteran wideout DeSean Jackson early in the second half.

Stafford’s impressive performance even earned praise from the opposing head coach Bruce Arians, who called him “a special player” after the game.

“We’re up in his face one time; he finds a guy wide open down the field and gets it to him. Other guys, they see him, but they can’t get it to ’em. He gets it to them, so he’s a special player,” Arians told reporters.

In the first three games in the Rams uniform, Stafford has now completed 70.2 percent of his passes while throwing for 942 yards and nine touchdowns. He only has one interception while the Rams remain undefeated with him under center.

The Bucs’ quarterback Tom Brady also had a huge night, throwing 55 times on a 74.5 completion percentage. He finished the night with 432 passing yards and one touchdown, but this still wasn’t enough for Tampa Bay to continue their winning streak.

The LA Rams are quietly putting together a formidable season in 2020 and are getting their name back in the Super Bowl conversation. The confirmation of this came Monday night when the team went to Tampa Bay and beat the Buccaneers 27-24.

Entering the game as big underdogs, the Rams managed to impose their will on the Bucs early on. Jared Goff connected with Robert Woods for a touchdown in the Rams’ opening drive of the game, while the defense didn’t allow any points to Tampa in the first quarter.

Bucs bounced back in the second quarter with two straight touchdowns, forcing the Rams to play catch-up before halftime. Still, Goff and his offense kept their composure and managed to put 10 points on the board before the clock run out to keep their team ahead.

Things didn’t star very well for the Rams in the second half, as they had an interception and missed field goal in consecutive drives. Luckily for them, Bucs didn’t manage to capitalize on these mistakes and even returned the favor later on.

The fourth quarter saw the Rams’ offense struggling to put points on the board, as they managed only a field goal throughout the entire period. But the defense did their part, limiting Tampa Bay to just seven points and securing a 27-24 win for their side.

This win got the Rams to a 7-3 record and on top of the highly competitive NFC West. Buccaneers, on the other hand, are now 7-4 and sit one game behind New Orleans Saints in NFC South.
