SoFi Stadium was rocking Monday night, but it wasn’t just another win for the Los Angeles Rams; it was a 28-6 smackdown of the New York Giants that might have just ushered in a brand new TE1 in Terrance Ferguson. While the Rams were doing their thing, our Seahawks absolutely wrecked the Arizona Cardinals 31-7. What a week, huh?
Ferguson’s Breakout Is Real
Dude, get this: Ferguson snagged 36 snaps, 58% of the offensive plays, and pulled in six catches on nine targets! But it wasn’t just the numbers; it was how they used him. This kid was deployed inline, out of the slot, and even in motion. He ran routes on over 70 percent of his snaps and commanded a massive 31 percent target share. After just two weeks, he’s leading the Rams’ tight ends in routes run, target catches, yards, and touchdowns. Yeah, he had a couple of dropped passes that definitely need cleaning up, but everything else? Pure gold. He’s finding those soft spots, catching away from his body, and showing off some serious run after the catch. And his blocking? Solid effort. They drafted him in Round 2 for a reason, and now he’s showing why, expanding his game to those underneath and medium zones effectively.
Stafford’s Veteran Moves
Matthew Stafford, man, I’m gonna be real: those first few drives had me sweating. Felt like “Bad Stafford” was gonna show up. But he quickly snapped out of it, righted the ship, and ended up having a seriously solid game! He jumped up the all-time charts, now 6th in touchdown throws, 6th in most games with 4 TDs, and 7th in most games with 300+ yards. That’s veteran stuff right there, showing he can still bring the heat.
Rams’ Weapons & Worries
Then you got the running backs, Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Both had strong efforts, no doubt, but the fumbles? C’mon, fellas, you gotta hold onto the rock! Williams consistently makes the first tackler miss and breaks plays outside for healthy gains. Corum? His burst really stands out, and he runs with stellar vision. It’s a solid one-two punch, but there’s a definite vibe of a RB battle brewing, isn’t there? The stats from @FantasyPtsData back it up: Williams with 51.1% RB rush share, 5 goal line touches, and 54.8% route share with 5 targets. Corum’s right behind him with 48.9% rush share and zero goal line looks. Something to watch as the season unfolds. And Davante Adams? Dude found the Fountain of MNF Youth! He looked absolutely in his prime, with amazing route running and that signature ability to high point the ball. L.A. needed him to step up, and he absolutely delivered.
So, the Rams are looking like they’ve got some serious pieces clicking early this season, especially with Ferguson stepping up big. It’s only Week 2, but these guys are definitely on the winning side of the ledger. Our Hawks are too, 31-7 winners over the Cardinals! Let’s keep that W-streak rolling for the Emerald City!
