This past Sunday, the Chiefs narrowly escaped with a win as the squad got past the Los Angeles Chargers 30-27.

What you need to know about the RamsThe Rams came within a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints this past Sunday, but they wound up with a 27-20 loss. No one had a standout game offensively for Los Angeles, but the Rams got scores from WR Allen Robinson and WR Tutu Atwell. One of the most thrilling moments was Atwell's 62-yard TD reception down the left side of the field in the first quarter. Los Angeles' 3-7 start to the 2022 season is the worst start for a defending Super Bowl champion in NFL history.
The Rams are second worst in the league in rushing yards per game, with only 76.1 on average, and they made the somewhat surprising decision this week to release their leading rusher, Darrell Henderson Jr. Veteran Cam Akers and rookie Kyren Williams will take Henderson's place in the Los Angeles backfield.
