The Rams had barely touched the ground game in the first half, but Blake Corum exploded in the third quarter, punching in a 23-yard touchdown to snatch a 17-9 lead over the Chargers with 10:42 left in the third. It was a complete shift in strategy, and it paid off huge.
From Zero to Sixty on the Ground
Before the second half kicked off, the Rams were practically ignoring the run, logging a measly five rushing attempts across two whole quarters. Seriously, five carries for two quarters? Then, something clicked. Blake Corum took over, getting five carries on the Rams’ very first possession of the second half, even ripping off four straight to open the drive. Talk about a sudden change of pace, right?
Corum’s Unstoppable Streak Continues
Matthew Stafford wasn’t just handing off, though. He also connected with Puka Nacua for back-to-back 12-yard gains, setting the Rams up sweet at the Chargers’ 23-yard line. That’s when Corum saw his chance. He went up the gut, then bounced it to the left side, finding the end zone for the 23-yard score. This guy is on fire, with a touchdown now in each of his last four games. On Sunday, he’s already racked up eight carries for 63 yards and that crucial TD.
