It's rare a game goes that well for you, so you have to savor it when it happens. I had the Rams plus 3.5, and I had Antonio Brown going with a six-point lead against Ronald Jones and the Bucs kicker. Done and done, and it wasn't much of a sweat.
- Maybe it was past his bed time, but Tom Brady had a terrible game with two bad picks, including the game loser, and a few deep throws to nowhere. His running backs didn't do him any favors with four drops between them, but a couple of those were off target and would have required the back to break stride or reach behind him.
- Leonard Fournette (7-17-1) got the TD, but dropped three passes, while Ronald Jones (10-24-0) dropped only one. They seem to switch off series more or less, making it hard to count on either.
- Antonio Brown (13-8-57-0) is already Brady's favorite target, and they just missed on a deep ball. Chris Godwin (10-7-53-1) got his, while Mike Evans (9-5-49-1) scored and Rob Gronkowski (6-2-25-0) got some looks at least.
- The Bucs run defense is impenetrable, but their pass defense is beatable.
- The Rams three-headed committee is unstartable at this point. If I had to appoint a head it would be Darrell Henderson, but Cam Akers could get more involved too.
- Jared Goff (376 yards, three TDs) had time to throw, and aside from two picks, was reasonably accurate and sharp. Cooper Kupp (13-11-145) and Robert Woods

- Jalen Ramsey cost the Rams two first-round picks last year at the trade deadline, and he's costing them a lot of money after his contract extension in September. He's worth it. While Ramsey got flagged for some cheap PI calls against Mike Evans, he's not only an elite cover corner, he brings a Ray Lewis-like swagger to arguably the league's best defense.
