The AFC West and NFC West met yesterday. The Rams and Chargers were both in the hunt for a playoff spot in their respective conferences. Both teams have a top 10 defense and the game showed it. The Rams were up 10-6 in the first half after Janoris Jenkins ran an interception 99 yards for a touchdown. However, in the third quarter the Chargers scored 14 more, the first of which was a 32 yard run by Ryan Mathews. After going down 20-10 though, the Rams came back as Tavon Austin ran, yes ran, it in for a six yard run. Eventually the game was 27-24 and the Rams were within the five yard line. But Marcus Gilchrist intercepted Shaun Hill's pass to end the game.
Charger's Pros - Ryan Mathews looked good and ran for over 100 yards.
Charger's Con - Philip Rivers' interception to Janoris Jenkins shift the momentum to the Rams quickly.
Ram's Pros - The Rams looked like they were going to have another Cardinal's game situation where the game got out of hand. But the Rams fought themselves back in this one.
Rams Cons - The Rams offensive line had some major penalties. In Fact two touchdowns were negated due to Ram's penalties.
Player of the Game: Ryan Mathews
