The Los Angeles Rams have officially come back down to earth after a road trip

to New Orleans that ended up in their first loss of the season.The offense performed well as always putting up 35 points http://www.ramsfootballauthentics.com/john-johnson-jersey-authentic , but it simply wasn’t enough after the first-half performance from the defense.Let’s revisit the matchups to watch:CB Marcus Peters vs WR Michael ThomasLast week’s matchup to watch:Yeah, this one wasn’t right at all. Peters was abused left right and center by Thomas. Thomas registered 12 receptions for 211 yards and a touchdown. He was converting third downs all over the field, breaking tackles to extend short catches into long ones, and even had the game-winning touchdown that effectively closed the game. Just an awful performance from the Rams’ #1 cornerback.WR Cooper Kupp vs CB P.J. WilliamsLast week’s matchup to watch:Kupp didn’t see a ton of the ball but still managed to be very productive. On only six targets, Kupp secured five receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown. He had an extremely long touchdown as well which was great to see. Kupp looked fully recovered from his concussion and knee injury from prior weeks and will continue to be relied upon going forward.OLB Dante Fowler Jr vs OT’s Terron Armstead/Ryan RamczykLast week’s matchup to watch:Fowler actually had a relatively solid performance for his first one in horns. The first half wasn’t great as he spent a lot of time on the floor and got bottled up by the two offensive tackles on separate occasions, but the light seemed to flip in the second half when Fowler registered multiple pressures and came alive. All in all, Fowler looked solid and put forth a promising first game after four days on his new team.RT Rob Havenstein vs DE Cameron JordanLast week’s matchup to watch:Hav (and the entire offensive line) had a tremendous performance. Jared Goff may have been pressured once or twice, but he wasn’t sacked one single time in the game. The Rams offense could pretty much do whatever they wanted moving the ball with ease. The offensive line had a fantastic bounce-back game after a shaky performance against Green Bay.QB Jared Goff vs Saints’ secondaryLast week’s matchup to watch:This prediction was relatively close as Goff had 391 yards and three touchdowns (one interception). Goff was pretty much marvelous outside of one mistake that turned out to be a bit costly as the interception turned into a touchdown drive for the Saints. Still Youth Ndamukong Suh Jersey , outside of a pick and maybe one missed throw later in the game to Robert Woods on first down, Goff absolutely torched the Saints defense. He had multiple pin-point accurate throws. Fantastic day from Goff and the passing offense.ILB Mark Barron/Cory Littleton vs RB Alvin KamaraLast week’s matchup to watch:This was pretty much as bad as the Thomas versus Peters battle. Alvin Kamara abused Rams defenders. They simply couldn’t cover and when they closed the gap, they couldn’t tackle at all. Kamara registered 110+ total yards and three touchdowns. These two need to be better. The Denver Broncos don't have much time to wallow in their misery this week."The great thing about it is we have a game on Thursday, so we can't get caught up in this game," Von Miller said after the Broncos lost their fourth straight , 23-20 to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday when Todd Gurley ran over them for a career-high 208 yards and two TDs on 28 carries.The battered Broncos (2-4) visit ailing Arizona (1-5) on Thursday night in a matchup of two of the NFL's worst teams."It's tough, but that's the perfect cure for us," embattled Broncos coach Vance Joseph said. "We've lost four in a row http://www.ramsfootballauthentics.com/todd-gurley-ii-jersey-authentic , have a chance to play in four days and get a win. That's important for our team."There were nearly 10,000 no-shows on a frigid afternoon at Mile High with a game-time temperature of 25 degrees following an overnight snowstorm, and it was the "sunny L.A. boys " as Broncos nose tackle Domata Peko called them last week, who handled the wintry weather better than the Broncos."It goes to show you that we can come and play in different elements," Rams receiver Brandin Cooks said. "I think that is a huge confidence boost for our team, to come out here in the snow and do what we did."Those who were in attendance let the home team have it after another mistake-filled performance in which cornerback Bradley Roby got burned again and left tackle Garett Bolles squelched yet another scoring opportunity with yet another holding call.The Broncos were booed off the field in the first half following Bolles' NFL-worst sixth hold of the season — he led the league last year with 10 of them.Quarterback Case Keenum drew the fans' ire after his eighth interception and a 14-yard sack by Aaron Donald when he had plenty of time to throw the ball away after leaving the pocket.The crowd cheered wildly when his backup, Chad Kelly, made his NFL debut Womens Greg Zuerlein Jersey , going in for a kneel-down at the end of the first half while Keenum was being checked out for a possible concussion."Yeah, I've heard it. It's not the first time that the crowd's been unhappy with what's going on on the field," said Keenum, who was cleared and played the entire second half. "They should be (ticked). I'm (ticked). We have to do better."Keenum has already thrown one more interception than he did last season in Minnesota and he's the only quarterback in the league who has had a pass picked off every game so far.Don't expect Kelly to supplant Keenum anytime soon, though."No. Case is our quarterback," Joseph insisted. "He did some good things today. It wasn't obviously perfect, but he moved the ball. Again, we had a chance to get 10 more points there. We got two holding penalties http://www.ramsfootballauthentics.com/cooper-kupp-jersey-authentic , and Emmanuel (Sanders)' penalty. We all can play better. It's been four in a row. We can all play better."Other takeaways from the Broncos' continued foibles and the Rams' first 6-0 start since 2001:COSTLIEST FLAGEmmanuel Sanders' taunting call on what he thought was a 44-yard TD catch hurt the Broncos when a review showed he was actually down at the 1. The 15-yard penalty, instead of being enforced on the kickoff, pushed the Broncos back to the 16. They ended up with a field goal instead of seven points — which would have made all the difference."I guess this loss is on me," Sanders said.KUPP SCARERams receiver Cooper Kupp was carted off the field with a left knee injury after being taken down on a horse-collar tackle by Broncos safety Darian Stewart in the second quarter. Kupp, however, made a surprising return in the second half."It is one of those things where you look at that and get worried real quick," Cooks said. "I just said a prayer."Kupp said he didn't begrudge Stewart, either."I know he wasn't doing it with any kind of malice or anything like that Youth Ramik Wilson Jersey ," Kupp said. "He checked on me during the game, and when I came out there in the second half he asked if I was good."Rams coach Sean McVay said Kupp and guard Roger Saffold III (knee) would be re-evaluated Monday.JUST GLOVELYRams QB Jared Goff went with gloves on both hands in the chilly conditions. He completed 14 of 28 passes for 201 yards and an interception on his 24th birthday."It's kind of a give-and-take and I felt more comfortable with them," Goff said.Goff was sacked five times, including three by rookie linebacker Bradley Chubb.
