As they have so often this season, the Rams defense picked up Jared Goff after a turnover. This time, they put points on the board themselves, too.
To open the second quarter, Kenny Young picked off Cam Newton and returned it 79 yards for a touchdown, the second week in a row the Rams have had a pick-six.
He was helped by Leonard Floyd, who pressured Newton into a bad throw, while Aaron Donald also held up Damien Harris briefly to prevent him from making the catch.
Take a look at the play, which put the Rams up 17-0 less than 16 minutes into the game.

Along with the rest of the defense, Sean McVay was hustling down the field along the sideline, cheering his guys on.
