Rams stay unbeaten, Patriots topple Chiefs
Print Edition
TODD Gurley rushed for a career-high 208 yards and two touchdowns as the Los Angeles Rams improved to 6-0 on Sunday with a 23-20 win over the struggling Denver Broncos.
Gurley scored his 10th and 11th TDs of the season and quarterback Jared Goff completed 14 of 28 passes for 201 yards for the Rams, who handed the Broncos their fourth consecutive defeat.
“Everybody did their job of opening holes and I took care of the rest,” said Gurley. “It is 6-0 that’s saying a lot about this team.”
The Kansas City Chiefs were trying to join the Rams at the top of the standings but their perfect season was spoiled when they ran headlong into Tom Brady and the red-hot New England Patriots.
Stephen Gostkowski kicked a field goal as time expired and Brady threw for 340 yards as the Patriots handed the Chiefs their first loss with a 43-40 win at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts.
The Broncos-Rams game was played under chilly conditions of -3 degrees Celsius at Mile High Stadium after an overnight snowstorm moved through the Denver area.
Gurley’s first TD was a 10-yard run that gave the Rams a 13-3 halftime lead. His second was a one-yard scamper that made it 20-3.
Elsewhere, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 352 yards and four TDs to lead a rally and tie the contest late, but the Patriots answered with Gostkowski’s field goal as time expired in a wild contest.
Brady threw for one TD and eluded a tackle to scamper for another while receiver Rob Gronkowski finished with 97 catching yards for the Patriots. His last catch was clutch and was the 500th of his career.
Elsewhere in the NFL, it was: Ravens 21, Titans 0; Steelers 28, Bengals 21; Cowboys 40, Jaguars 7; Vikings 27, Cardinals 17; Redskins 23, Panthers 17; Falcons 34, Buccaneers 29; Chargers 38, Browns 14; Seahawks 27, Raiders 3; Texans 20, Bills 13; Jets 42, Colts 34; and Dolphins 31, Bears 28 (in overtime).
