Davante Adams caught three of those touchdown passes as the Rams played one of their most complete games of the season to win at London’s Wembley Stadium.
The last two seasons, the Rams have entered their bye weeks doing some soul searching. Three games below .500 each time, coming off humbling losses, in need of a reset to save their season.
There will be no such need this year, as the Rams played one of their most complete games of the season in a 35-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-3) on Sunday.
Without receiver Puka Nacua (ankle), the Rams offense faced questions all week about whether it could hold on without the Pro Bowler. Those questions were answered emphatically by quarterback Matthew Stafford, who matched his career-high with five touchdown passes, the first time achieving the feat as a Ram.
To open the game at Wembley Stadium, the Rams (5-2) relied heavily on multiple-tight end sets. Stafford’s first five completions were all to tight ends, including three to Tyler Higbee.
The big guys helped move the ball down the field, but once they reached the red zone, Stafford only had eyes for his receivers.
