Los Angeles – The Los Angeles Rams secured a 17-3 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on October 12, 2025, improving their season record to 4-2 while the Ravens dropped to 1-5. Despite some significant struggles, the Rams managed to come away with a win on the road.
The Rams faced challenges throughout the game, including several penalties, issues with their kicking game, and a turnover. Additionally, star receiver Puka Nacua suffered a foot injury in the first half, which raised concerns about his availability. Nevertheless, the Rams’ defense executed key plays, including a crucial goal-line stand that kept the game tied at 3-3 in the first half.
In the second half, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford led the team to a successful scoring drive, throwing two touchdown passes. Running back Kyren Williams opened the scoring for the Rams with a 3-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Stafford later found Tyler Higbee for an 8-yard touchdown pass, extending their lead to 17-3. The Rams’ defense limited the Ravens to just one field goal after their early scoring drive.
The Ravens struggled offensively, especially with starting quarterback Lamar Jackson sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Cooper Rush took the helm as the starter, completing 11 of 19 passes for 72 yards, though he was intercepted and lost a fumble. In the fourth quarter, Tyler Huntley replaced Rush, managing to move the Ravens into the red zone but failing to capitalize on the opportunity to score.
Defensive and Special Teams Struggles
Both teams grappled with offensive inefficiencies, characterized by turnovers and penalties. The Rams’ kicking issues persisted as kicker Joshua Karty missed a short field goal and hit the upright during another attempt. Meanwhile, the Ravens’ defense made critical stops, including a pivotal fourth-and-goal stop against Rams running back Derrick Henry.
The Rams also faced injuries during the contest. Puka Nacua returned after his foot injury but did not register any catches for the remainder of the game. Running back Blake Corum suffered an ankle injury but managed to return to action. The Ravens, on the other hand, struggled with their own injury list, with tackle Ronnie Stanley dealing with an ankle injury and edge rusher Tavius Robinson out with a broken foot.
Upcoming Games
Looking ahead, the Rams will travel to London for their next matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 19, 2025. The Ravens will enjoy a bye week before returning to action against the Chicago Bears on October 26.
In summary, while the Rams maybe not have played their best football, their ability to secure a win on the road against the struggling Ravens is a positive step forward for their season. Despite the ongoing concerns about injuries and penalties, the Rams can build on this victory as they approach their upcoming games.
