Baker Mayfield in line to start, John Wolford likely out this week
LinkGiven the way that last Thursday night’s game against the Raiders ended, there probably wasn’t a great need for the Rams to officially name Baker Mayfield their quarterback moving forward and there’s even less of one given the health of John Wolford.
Wolford has been dealing with a neck injury for several weeks and head coach Sean McVay said that he will likely miss Monday night’s game against the Packers because of the injury. That leaves Mayfield in line to make his first start for the team.
Mayfield replaced Wolford after three snaps last Thursday and led a pair of fourth quarter touchdown drives to lift the Rams to a 17-16 win.
The game came two days after Mayfield joined the team as a waiver claim, so he’ll have considerably more time to soak up the offense before getting back on the field against Green Bay.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
