Matchup Analysis
Game Already Completed
This game has already been played on October 12, 2025, with the Rams defeating the Ravens 17-3. The Rams improved to 4-2 while the Ravens dropped to 1-5. Lamar Jackson missed his second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury, with Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley filling in at quarterback for Baltimore.
Rams Defense Dominates Jackson-less Ravens
The Rams defense held the Ravens to just 3 points and forced multiple turnovers. Baltimore managed only a field goal on their opening drive and nothing more. A critical goal-line stand late in the first half, where the Rams stopped Derrick Henry and two QB sneaks by Mark Andrews, proved pivotal. Byron Young recorded sacks on consecutive plays in the fourth quarter, setting a franchise record.
Third Quarter Explosion Seals Victory
After a sluggish first half that ended 3-3, the Rams scored 14 unanswered points in the third quarter. Kyren Williams opened the scoring with a 3-yard touchdown run, then Matthew Stafford connected with Tyler Higbee for an 8-yard TD pass after a Zay Flowers fumble. The Rams offense capitalized on Baltimore's mistakes when it mattered most.
Ravens Quarterback Carousel Continues
Cooper Rush started for the injured Lamar Jackson but struggled mightily, going 11-for-19 with 72 yards, an interception, and a lost fumble before being benched for Tyler Huntley in the fourth quarter. Huntley showed more mobility and drove Baltimore into the red zone late, but the Ravens turned it over on downs with 3:44 remaining. The quarterback situation remains Baltimore's biggest concern at 1-5.
Injury Concerns for Both Teams
The Rams saw Puka Nacua leave in the second quarter with a foot injury, though he returned in the third quarter. However, his status for Week 7 against Jacksonville in London is uncertain. Blake Corum also exited with an ankle injury. For Baltimore, tackle Ronnie Stanley didn't make it through the first half despite playing through an ankle issue, and edge rusher Tavius Robinson left with a foot injury.
Pick Ideas
Final Score Was Rams 17, Ravens 3
This game has already been completed with the Rams winning 17-3 as road underdogs. The total went well under any reasonable number.
Ravens Season in Crisis
Baltimore is now 1-5 and faces an uphill battle to make the playoffs. Only four teams in NFL history have reached the postseason after starting 1-5, making their playoff odds extremely long.
NFC West Race Tightens
The Rams improved to 4-2, tying Seattle and trailing San Francisco (4-1) by just one game in the division. Los Angeles has positioned themselves well for a playoff push despite early season struggles.
