In the first five games of the season, the Los Angeles Rams only forced four total turnovers on defense, which put them 24th in the NFL. In the first half on Sunday alone, they took the ball away twice from the Raiders, one of which was returned for a touchdown.
In the second quarter, Cobie Durant came on a blitz and knocked the ball out of Gardner Minshew’s hand for a strip-sack. Kam Curl was in perfect position to scoop up the loose ball and return it 33 yards for a touchdown, increasing the Rams’ lead to 14-3.
The two defensive backs came up with the Rams’ best defensive play of the season, Durant’s second takeaway of the game. He also picked off Gardner Minshew on the Raiders’ previous possession.
Well that escalated quickly.

After Curl got into the end zone, the defense hit the rowboat celebration.
