The Los Angeles Rams signed quarterback Baker Mayfield just this week, and it wasn’t expected that Mayfield — with limited experience in one of the NFL’s most complicated offenses — would see serious time. But with Matthew Stafford out with a spinal cord contusion, and backup John Wolford out due to his own injuries, Mayfield took the field with about 48 hours of experience with his new team.
It started out somewhat rocky, as Mayfield tried to find timing with receivers he’d never thrown to before, but when it counted… boy, did Mayfield come through. With two minutes left in the Rams’ Thursday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders, punter AJ Cole III booted the Rams back to their own two-yard line with a 64-yard punt.
