For the second week in a row, the Rams pulled off a preseason victory, defeating the Raiders in Oakland 24-21. And while the preseason games are exhibition matches in nature, Rams’ fans can still find plenty to get excited about from Saturday night’s comeback win.

In last week’s preseason win over the Cowboys, the Rams’ first-team offense was in for just eight plays, culminating in Cooper Kupp’s fumble recovery in the end zone.
