LONDON—Wembly Stadium hosted an NFL game on Sunday, October 19 between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Los Angeles Rams. Matthew Stafford threw five touchdowns in an easy 35-7 beatdown of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Only die-hard Rams fans caught this one-it began at 6:30 a.m. and aired exclusively on the NFL Network. Puka Nacua sat out with an injured ankle, Stafford relied on other receivers.
On Sunday, he had little trouble with Jacksonville’s defense by connecting with Davante Adams for three scores at the iconic home of English soccer.
Stafford completed 21 of 33 passes for 182 yards. Jags quarterback Trevor Lawrence finished 23 of 48 for 296 yards and the touchdown pass to Hunter.
It was the Rams best defensive effort this season. The Jaguars allowed seven sacks and committed 13 penalties for 119 yards.
Despite arriving in London on Saturday morning, the Rams looked plenty fresh by scoring three first-half touchdowns.
Mumpfield scored the first and Adams the next two. The Rams are at a mark of (5-2).
Five different players caught passes on the Rams’ opening drive.
We spread the ball around a bunch today,” Stafford said.
Rams’ linebacker Byron Young extended his sack streak to nine regular-season games.
The Rams have a bye next week, before hosting the New Orleans Saints in Week 9 at SoFi.
