Whatever Sean McVay's doing in Los Angeles, it's officially Niklas Hjalmarsson Men Jersey working. In a span of just four weeks, McVay has turned around a downtrodden franchise, proved that millennials can be productive, turned into a borderline All-Pro quarterback and transformed into an early MVP candidate. This is all from a guy who was 17 the last time the had a winning record in 2013. At 3-1, there's no guarantee that the Rams will make the playoffs this year -- after all, they also started 3-1 last year -- but this year feels different, especially after Sunday's stunning 35-30 win over the . McVay is an offensive whiz and it shows almost every time the Rams are on the field. The 31-year-old coach loves using his most talented players as often as po sible, and if you need proof of that, just pay attention to how often Gurley touches the ball. Gurley, who's arguably the most talented player on the Rams' offense is one of the scariest weapons in the NFL when he's being used correctly, and McVay knows his launch codes. Not only did Gurley do some serious damage on the ground (121 rushing yards) against the Cowboys, but he also did some through the air, catching four pa ses for 94 yards and a touchdown. To give you an idea of how different McVay's Rams are from Fisher's version of the team, you only have to look at Gurley's stats. After catching a 53-yard touchdown pa s against the Cowboys, Gurley has now caught a TD pa s in three straight games, which is borderline crazy when you consider that he didn't during his two seasons under Jeff Fisher. You can see his 53-yard TD catch below. Todd Gurley doing Todd Gurley things. SNF on NBC (@SNFonNBC) The scariest part of all this for the rest of the NFL is that McVay is just starting to scratch the surface of what he's able to do with the Rams' offense. In just four games, he's already turned the Rams into the highest scoring team in the NFL, which didn't even seem po sible coming off Max Domi Women Jersey a 2016 season where the Rams were the lowest scoring team in the NFL. All the sudden, when you look at the Rams' schedule, there's no one on it they can't beat. If the Rams knock off the next week, we might have to accept that there's now a new favorite in the NFC West. Saints: A It took 12 seasons, but it finally happened: The pitched a shutout under Sean Payton, and all they had to do was fly acro s the world to get it done. Before Sunday's win, the Saints hadn't pitched a shutout since 2012, but Payton doesn't get credit for that because he wasn't on the sideline (He was serving his one-year suspension for bounty-gate). That 2012 shutout marks the only one that the Saints have pulled off since Payton was hired in 2006. To give you an idea of how rare a shutout is for New Orleans, the Saints have only blanked a total of three teams since 1993, including Sunday's win. Miami Dolphins: F After the lost to the in Week 3, Miami coach Adam Gase described his ," which might actually be an insult to garbage based on how the Dolphins played in London. Not only did the Dolphins get shutout, but they were held to under 190 yards (186) for the first time since 2013, which also happened to be the last time they were shutout. They were also horrible on third down (1 of 8), had no ground game (58 yards), and couldn't protect . Wayne Gretzky Men Jersey You now what, let's just go with Gase's description, the Dolphins' offense was trash. Steelers: B+ Welcome back, . After looking rusty for the first three weeks of the season, Bell finally exploded for a big game, which was good news for the because they needed every yard that he provided. Not only did Bell rush for 142 yards and two touchdowns, but he was also on the receiving end of four pa ses for 42 yards. The Steelers are now 7-0 all-time when Bell rushes for 140 or more yards. Ravens: F "I Sucked." That was how described his , and who are we to disagree. You could also make a strong argument that Flacco wasn't just describing his own play, but the play of everyone on the team. If you're scoring at home, the have now been outscored 70-16 over the past two weeks, and things might not get better anytime soon if Flacco keeps playing the way he's been playing (235 pa sing yards, 1 TD, 2 interceptions against the Steelers). Bills: A If coach Sean McDermott hands out an MVP award for this game, there's a good chance it's going to go to kicker Steven Hauschka. Not only did Hauschka nail three field goals, but two of them came in crunch time during the fourth quarter. With under five minutes to play, Hauschka hit from 56 and 55 yards, moving the Bills' from a tie game to having a 23-17 lead. The Bills have now knocked off an undefeated team in two consecutive weeks, which means it might be time to start taking them seriously. Falcons: C Michael Grabner Kids Jersey For the second week in a row, was handing out gifts to the other team in the form of turnovers. Not only did Ryan cough up a fumble that the Bills returned for a touchdown, but he also threw two interceptions. The ugly part for the is that both those picks came in the second half and both interceptions led to a Bills' field goal. That's 13 Bills' points on Ryan in a game that the Falcons lost by six. When Ryan wasn't throwing interceptions, he was still struggled with his accuracy, completing just 24 of 42 pa ses. The Falcons had to play the entire second half without , who was ruled out of the game after suffering a hip injury late in the second quarter. Titans: F This game couldn't have gone much worse for Tenne see. Besides getting obliterated, the also lost after he strained his hamstring in the first half, and if the second half was any indication, the Titans aren't going to go very far this season Dylan Strome Women Jersey with backup under center. The Titans also turned the ball over five times, and if we've learned one thing about he NFL, it's that you're not going to win if you turn the ball over five times. Since the beginning of the 2013 season, NFL teams are a combined 1-38 when turning the ball over five or more times. This game marked the first time in Mariota's career that the team didn't hit the 200-yard mark on offense in a game he started. Texans: A+ coach Bill O'Brien is going to probably spend the next 24 hours asking himself why he didn't just go with as his starting quarterback to start the season. Watson has completely reinvigorated a Texans' offense that looked mostly lost during O'Brien's first three seasons with the team. In just his third career start, Watson helped the Texans set a franchise record for points by throwing four touchdown pa ses and rushing for another. One thing that shouldn't be overlooked is that Watson got a lot of help from his ground game. The Texans totaled 173 rushing yards on Sunday and are now 18-2 in their past 20 games where they rush for 170 or more yards. Bengals: A+ Since 's rookie year, fans have basically been wondering what would happen if he ever played a perfect game, and it looks like we found out the answer on Sunday. The Bengals |
