Rams vs. Panthers discussion: Will L.A. close out second half?

The Los Angeles Rams lead the Carolina Panthers by a score of 21-17 after the first half of play. It was expected that the Rams would tack on another win this week, and they might, but the Panthers have showed up to play, while the Rams started with some mistakes early to put the Panthers where they wanted to be.

Despite the errors, the Rams have kept themselves from bottoming out and so far, this has been a competitive game for both teams, but the Rams (believe it or not) have looked better overall despite the errors.

The Rams took a quick 7-0 lead after Matthew Stafford found Davantae Adams for a passing score, but the Panthers responded on their next drive with a throwing score by Bryce Young.

On L.A.’s next drive, the Rams were in the redzone quickly again, but this time the drive ended with Stafford’s first pick since Week 3, and the Panthers had the ball and momentum to build a lead.

The Rams defense was able to force a punt to put the ball back in the hands of Stafford as the Rams had a chance to retake the lead and put pressure on Carolina. Instead, Stafford threw his second interception of the day with a pick-six, and after the extra point, the Panthers (not the Rams) led 14-7.

The Rams were able to get back on track with another Stafford passing TD to Adams to know the game at 14-14.

The Panthers kept the heat on with a field goal, and the Rams answered with a touchdown to take a 21-7 lead with just under two minutes to go in the half.

The score would stay that way to go into the half, and though the Rams are leading, the Panthers have fought hard to be in this game.

There is an entire half of football to go, so you’re going to want to stay locked in to see how this Week 13 contest comes to an end!
