Rams’ Davante Adams drops ‘fun’ truth that will have Aaron Rodgers jealous
When Davante Adams is happy, the Los Angeles Rams are dangerous.
That’s exactly what happened on Sunday, as the Rams routed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 34-7, at SoFi Stadium. Adams had himself an enjoyable evening, scoring two touchdowns on five carries and 62 yards.
The 32-year-old wide receiver and Matthew Stafford set the tempo early, giving Los Angeles the big lead at halftime, 31-7. From there, the Buccaneers didn’t stand a chance, especially with
The Rams claimed the solo lead in the NFC with a 9-2 record, including 5-1 at home.
After the game, Adams, who increased his league-leading touchdown catches to 12,
“Davante Adams said he’s having the most fun he’s ever had playing football,” reported ESPN’s Sarah Barshop.
Adams joined the Rams in the offseason on a two-year deal worth $44 million. He was coming off a brief stint with the New York Jets, where he was reunited with
They, however, failed to replicate the success they had during their stint with the Green Bay Packers. Being the favorite target of Rodgers, Adams had his productive seasons with the Green and Gold, becoming a two-time All-Pro First Team member and five-time Pro Bowler.
That’s why it’s quite curious to hear him say that his stint with the Rams is the most fun he’s having. But as they say, winning changes everything, and they have been winning a lot. Adams has scored nine touchdowns in their last five games.
Not as fun for the opponents.
Eagles blown lead among largest in team history. Jalen Hurts, fans fume
It seemed like the Philadelphia Eagles were going to cruise to an easy victory over the Dallas Cowboys Nov. 23 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
The Birds led 21-0 in the second quarter and then everything fell apart as the Cowboys won 24-21.
The blown lead is tied for the second worst in Eagles history.
"We gotta find a way to finish the game, and we gotta find some consistency in what we do," Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said after the game. "Definitely a tale of two halves, but in the end, we didn't play a complete game as a team. And today it got us."
Hurts led the Eagles to three touchdowns on their first three drives of the game for a 21-0 lead with 11:32 left in the second quarter. The Eagles never scored again.
What was the biggest blown lead in Eagles history?
The Eagles blew a 23-point lead against the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 1, 1985.
The Eagles led 23-0 at Veterans Stadium when the Vikes rallied. Minnesota quarterback Wade Wilson threw three touchdown passes – two to Anthony Carter – and Willie Teal returned a fumble 65 yards for a touchdown.
The loss to the Cowboys ties the Eagles' 25-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 12, 1999 and a 28-21 loss to the New York Giants on Dec. 2, 1945 – both were 21-point deficits.
