Jaylen Watson allows two touchdown passes in his Rams debut

Cornerback Jaylen Watson struggled in his Rams debut, surrendering two touchdown passes during the team's recent loss. The $51 million off-season acquisition was targeted five times, allowing three catches for 53 yards. On the first touchdown, Watson trailed Demarcus Robinson following a deep pass from Brock Purdy. Later in the contest, Mike Evans successfully contested a ball against Watson at the goal line for the second score. Watson entered the match dealing with a toe injury sustained before the team's flight to Australia. The Rams secondary overhaul remains a focus as the team prepares for a game next Sunday against the Giants. Watson faces potential matchups against receivers Malik Nabers and Odell Beckham Jr. in that follow-up appearance.
