Odell Beckham Jr. touchdown gives Rams early 7-0 lead

5X2f63tkG4Rs
Mike Florio and Chris Simms look ahead to Super Wild Card Weekend’s MNF matchup between the Cardinals and the Rams to explain why the Rams offensive line will be a key factor.

The Rams are playing from in front.

Receiver Odell Beckham Jr. went up to catch a 4-yard touchdown pass over Cardinals cornerback Marco Wilson in the end zone, tapping his feet in bounds to secure the score.

The TD capped a 10-play, 52-yard drive that took 6:05 off the clock and gave Los Angeles a 7-0 lead.

Beckham also caught a 17-yard pass to begin the possession.

The Rams converted a third-and-1 play with a Matthew Stafford quarterback sneak. And Stafford’s touchdown to Beckham came on third-and-4.

Stafford has started the game 4-of-4 for 48 yards with a touchdown.

On the other side, the Rams’ defense has forced three three-and-outs to start the game. With only 2:15 left in the period, the Cardinals may finish the first quarter with -3 yards.
