The Rams defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 35-21 on Sunday, improving their record to 3-4, CBS News Los Angeles reported. Los Angeles took a commanding 28-6 lead by halftime and maintained control throughout the game.
Wide receiver Puka Nacua, a Las Vegas native who had been questionable with a calf injury, caught eight passes for 68 yards and a touchdown. Tight end Davis Allen also scored two touchdowns, his first of the season.
Running backs Kyren Williams and Blake Corum combined for 192 rushing yards and two touchdowns, helping the Rams sustain their offensive momentum. The Raiders attempted a late rally but failed to convert critical fourth downs and two-point conversions.
