Matthew Stafford: Thursday night what we envisioned as offensive

The Rams have been the subject of numerous trade rumors in recent days, but they took the field Thursday night with the team they hoped to play when the season started and the results were positive.

Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua returned from injuries to combine for 12 catches and 157 yards, Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes and Kyren Williams picked up 116 yards from scrimmage in a 28-20 win over the Vikings. Kupp and Nacua had been out for extended periods of time before the game, and Stafford noted that the performance was what the team had in mind all along.

“Are what you had in mind when training camp started and it’s nice to have those guys back,” Stafford said via the team’s website. “I said it before, but I really think it was great for our whole team. It was obviously great for our offense, I was so happy and proud that those guys were back on the grass with us, but also very important for our defense, our special teams, everyone feels that when those guys are back in.

The win pushed the Rams to 3-4 and the post-game discourse suggested they won’t reshape the team with trades, so it appears Thursday night’s success is a sign of what’s to come in Los Angeles.
