The Los Angeles Rams achieved a 20-13 victory over the Washington Commanders on November 8, 2026, marking their third consecutive win. Myles Garrett had a standout performance with three sacks and a forced fumble. The Rams' offense faced challenges, especially after Puka Nacua sustained a knee injury on the game's final play, which raises questions about the team's passing game moving forward. Matthew Stafford relied heavily on Nacua during the game, as he was the standout receiver, netting 150 yards along with the game-winning touchdown. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, the Rams may need to explore options to bolster their receiving corps.
