US Football League NFL: Rams concede second loss of the season

Status: 04.10.2022 07:21 a.m

Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams concede second defeat in fourth NFL game. And the Kansas City Chiefs get their revenge against Tampa Bay.

The Rams lost 9:24 to Californian rivals San Francisco 49ers and were held in the US Football League for the first time since December 2020 (9:20 against Seattle) by an opponent under ten points.

The Rams star offensive around Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp found no effective remedy against the strong 49ers defense on Monday evening (October 3rd, 2022 / local time). In attack, San Francisco receiver Deebo Samuel provided the most spectacular action with a 57-yard touchdown. The 49ers are also at 2-2 wins.

Chiefs get revenge against Buccaneers

The day before, the Kansas City Chiefs had taken revenge for the loss in Super Bowl LV by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team around star quarterback Patrick Mahomes won 41:31 against the team around Tom Brady on Sunday evening. Both playmakers made three touchdown passes.

In the final two years ago, the Chiefs lost 9:31 at Raymond James Stadium in Florida and missed their second title in a row. This time the Chiefs were unstoppable from the start and were up 21:3 early in the second quarter.

“We wanted to win, not only because of that, but also to get our season on track,” Mahomes told the NBC TV channel: “We had a good plan, we moved the ball quickly. If we take care of it like that , then we’re hard to beat.”

The offensive inspired with creative and unusual moves. After the third touchdown, the visitors were never less than ten points clear and clinched their third win of the season in the fourth game of the NFL season. The Bucs have two wins and two losses. The stadium in Tampa was largely spared by Hurricane “Ian”, but Brady’s team had prepared for the game in Miami during the week.

Patriots lose to the Packers

The Las Vegas Raiders around Stuttgart’s Jakob Johnson had previously achieved their first win of the season after three defeats. There was a 32:23 against the Denver Broncos. The New England Patriots only lost to the Green Bay Packers 24:27 after overtime, although regular quarterback Mac Jones was injured and his replacement Brian Hoyer had to leave the field early on. That’s why Bailey Zappe made his NFL debut and kept coach Bill Belichick’s team in the game until the end.

Watt back after atrial fibrillation

JJ Watt has recovered just three days after his heart “rebooted” from atrial fibrillation. The Arizona Cardinals defensive end played the Carolina Panthers at 26-16 and had three tackles. On Wednesday, the 33-year-old felt unwell and underwent treatment, and on Thursday the heart’s rhythm was restored with an electric shock. “I’ve spoken to cardiologists and electrophysiologists from all over the country. I’ve been reassured several times that there’s nothing else they can do and that I can play as usual,” Watt said after his assignment.

Vikings win NFL stint in London

The Minnesota Vikings have won their first international game of the current NFL season. A month and a half before the eagerly awaited first game of the elite class in Munich, the Vikings beat the New Orleans Saints 28:25 in London on Sunday.

Vikings kicker Greg Joseph scored the decisive points in front of around 60,000 spectators in the Tottenham Hotspur stadium with 24 seconds before the end with his fifth field goal of the day. With the last action, Saints kicker Will Lutz set a field goal attempt for a possible equalization on the crossbars.

Four more games outside of the US

Four more NFL games are scheduled outside the United States in the coming weeks: The Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants (October 9/Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) as well as the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Denver Broncos (October 20 / Wembley) opposite.

On November 13, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers around quarterback icon Tom Brady will meet the Seattle Seahawks in Munich, on November 21 the Arizona Cardinals will play the San Francisco 49ers in Mexico City.

Bills turn game against Ravens

The Buffalo Bills made up a 17-point deficit against the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL’s top game and avoided their second loss in a row. The title favorite of many pundits won the game in Baltimore 23:20.

The decision brought a field goal by Tyler Bass with the clock running out. Instead of a disappointing record of two wins and two losses, the Bills now have three wins and are well on their way to the National Football League playoffs. Quarterback Josh Allen had a touchdown pass and got a touchdown himself. Playmaker Lamar Jackson had a touchdown pass for the Ravens.

The only undefeated team in the league is still the Philadelphia Eagles. The 29:21 against the Jacksonville Jaguars was the fourth win, and the 0:14 in the first quarter didn’t bring the Eagles down either.

Defeat for St Brown

Equanimeous St. Brown lost to the New York Giants with the Chicago Bears 12-20. His brother Amon-Ra St. Brown was unable to play due to an ankle injury and missed the Detroit Lions’ spectacular 45-48 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Nuremberg’s Dominik Eberle made his debut for the Lions in the game, converting a field goal from 49 yards and scoring two extra points, but missed two more extra point attempts.

Meanwhile, in the first season after quarterback Ben Roethlisberger retired, the Pittsburgh Steelers continued to stumble, including losing their home game to the long-notoriously bad New York Jets. At 20:24 (6:10), the Steelers put quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on the bench at halftime and replaced Kenny Pickett – who caused the turnaround with two touchdowns, but could not prevent the defeat either.
