I was exceedlingly pleased that going into the 4th quarter, the Rams only had 13 points. The defense, while allowing quite a bit of yardage to be gained, had really keep their scoring in check.

Alas, it appeared to me that the defense was gassed in the 4th, that the Rams studied and took advantage of what we are offering to them and scored 14 points to win the game.

I thougth the defense played well. If not for two TDs negated by AD Mitchell, we would have won going away.

All 4 of these punts occurred in the 4th quarter.


Strangely enough, in 1984 I witnessed an NFL record that is about as rare as it goes involving this the same franchise (the Los Angeles Rams.) Because of the fact that I live in New York State, in 1984 I got all of the New York Giants and New York Jets games on my TV. The Rams were playing the Giants. The Rams actually scored 3 safeties in one quarter ....... l 3 SAFETIES IN ONE QUARTER !!! ) :eek:

(Tvs. CHARGERS, 10/18)



I don't think that the Colts' defense played as good as they appeared to play in the 1st half, and I also don't think that they played as badly as they appeared to play in the 2nd half ...... I'll explain.

The Chargers were so far behind on the scoreboard in the 2nd half that they went for it on 4th down l 4 TIMES l when they ordinarily would not have done so if the game were closer ...... if this had been a close game, the Chargers would have kicked a field goal and punted 3 times on those 4th downs. But they were so far behind and had nothing to lose, so the Colts' defense had to essentially make 4 extra stops than they ordinarily would have.


So in my rat's ass of an opinion, Justin Herbert's 420 yards passing is not necessarily all that alarming when taking into consideration the circumstances surrounding those gaudy statistics ...... yes, the Colts' defense did not play as well in the 2nd half as they did in the 1st half, but they also were in completely different situations in those 2 halves.

The number of your possessions adds up to 11, not 10.
