Practice Report 10/20: Keeping the Offense HummingMyles Simmons
BAGSHOT, Surrey, England — When playing an NFL game, it’s hard to keep track of big-picture events that may or may not be going on. That’s exactly what happened on Sunday when quarterback Case Keenum set a new franchise record for consecutive completions against Detroit.
“Nobody knew how well he was doing until after the game and we found out he completed 19 straight,” offensive lineman Rodger Saffold said Wednesday. “He didn’t even know it, and he’s the one throwing them.”
“I think he was just in a rhythm,” tight end Lance Kendricks said. “I think he was feeling it. And I think we were all just confident in the game plan. We knew what our assignment was and we just kind of went out there and executed. We knew we had to hold our own.”
Jim Everett found receivers 18 straight times against the Giants in 1989, meaning Keenum and the offense took down a 27-year-old record. When it was all said and done, the Houston product completed 20 consecutive passes en route to becoming the Rams’ first 300-yard passer since early in the 2014 season.
“He got very comfortable,” Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said on Wednesday. “The game slowed down for him. Nineteen consecutive completions is hard to do, and he did it.”
