St. Louis Rams vs Washington Redskins: Full highlights, final score and more
By Mike Dyce
The Washington Redskins dropped the hammer on a deflated St. Louis Rams team.
The St. Louis Rams got a huge win over the Seattle Seahawks in the season-opener, the question was whether they’d be emotionally deflated or if they could keep the momentum going. The Washington Redskins have been in the cellar of the league for a couple of seasons and are looking to change their fortunes in Week 2 after a season-opening loss against the Miami Dolphins.
It looked like the Rams were deflated after their Seahawks-win. The Redskins took a 17 point lead into the half.
The Rams came out strong in the second half to bring the game within seven points, but a late fourth quarter touchdown from Matt Jones, a three-yard run, put the ice on this game.
Three stars
- Matt Jones, RB, Redskins – He carried the ball for over 120 yards and two touchdowns.
- Kirk Cousins, QB, Redskins – Completed 23 of 27 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown, with a passer rating of 110.3
- Jordan Reed, TE, Redskins – Caught all six balls thrown his way for 82 yards.
Highlights
Redskins running back Matt Jones opened the scoring with a 39-yard touchdown run.
Odds
Rams (-3)
The Rams were the favorite after their big win over the Seattle Seahawks, but not only did the Redskins beat the spread and win outright, they crushed them.
