The Rams beat the Chargers 24-9 to return to .500 and strengthen their position in the NFC West, with Blake Corum emerging as a key part of their improving run game. His third-quarter touchdown helped extend the lead, while the Rams’ late possession kept their defence off the field and secured the win.
