"Los Angeles was historically explosive in this game. The Rams became only the second offense since the 1970 merger to average better than 10 yards per play on at least 50 plays. They had 55 plays for 556 yards (10.1 yards per play). That hasn't been done since Joe Namath's Jets averaged 10.6 yards per play in a monumental shootout with Johnny Unitas and the Colts in 1972.

The Rams were so good at big plays that they piled up 556 yards and 38 points despite going 1-of-6 on third down. This is only the third time since 1991 where an offense had over 500 yards without having multiple third-down conversions, according to Pro Football Reference. In the second and third quarters, Goff had his six biggest completions (70, 56, 47, 36, 31, and 27 yards). There's no need for third down when chunks are coming like that."
