An easy win for the Rams, marked by them gaining more yards on the ground (213) than the Bucs did in total
offense (201). Los Angeles moved the ball at will at times and had a 21-0 lead at half-time on the back of
accurate passing from Jim Everett, and Charles White's rushing that led the NFL at that point in the season.
Vinny played the final two series in preparation for his first NFL start the following week in New Orleans.

Curt Jarvis made a nice move to record his first NFL sack
Jeff Smith’s long run opened the second half on a positive note
There were so few Buc high points that even Iggy’s fieldgoal had network interference
