Rams vs. Chargers highlights Week 17
Watch all of the highlights from the game between the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17 of the 2022 NFL regular season.
When you get crushed by 21 points, there aren’t many positives to take away from the loss. For the Rams, only two players stood out in a meaningfully positive way. A handful of players were on the wrong end of things, too, which landed them designations as “duds” in the team’s 31-10 loss to the Chargers.
We picked just two studs and three duds in this week’s loss, which was a second-half drubbing at SoFi Stadium, with the Rams getting outscored 14-0 in the final two quarters.
Stud: Cam Akers
This was yet another outstanding performance by Akers, and it could’ve been even better if not for an attempted one-handed catch that was dropped in the first quarter. He rushed for more than 100 yards for the second week in a row, finishing with 123 yards on 19 carries. He also had a fantastic blitz pickup in the third quarter to give Baker Mayfield time to find Brycen Hopkins for a big gain, completely wiping the blitzing Nasir Adderley out of the play. Akers is looking every bit like the Rams’ starting running back in 2023.
