Cooper Kupp had a rough opening half vs. the New Orleans Saints, with a few drops in the end zone and miscommunication with Matthew Stafford. But the Los Angeles Rams still went into the locker room up double digits Thursday night.
Last season, the Rams probably would have been down by 10 points, searching for their first touchdown and in need of healthy offensive linemen.
But these Rams are different from the 5–12 team from last season. They’re also drastically different from the 3–6 squad earlier this year.
The Dodgers are adding the top pitcher on the market, 10 days after signing Shohei Ohtani. Japanese pitching star Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 25, has agreed to join the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to multiple reports late Thursday, marking the end of a bidding war for the ace.

ESPN’s Jeff Passen reported that Yamamoto and the Dodgers agreed to a 12-year, $325 million contract — the largest contract in history for a pitcher, besting Gerrit Cole’s contract with the Yankees ($324M).
Mike Williams died in September after he sustained a head injury after an incident at a construction site.
Star Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto has agreed to join the Dodgers on a 12-year, $325 million contract, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Thursday.

Los Angeles has agreed to sign Japanese star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto to a 12-year contract worth $325 million, according to reports from Jack Curry of YES Network and ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Thursday.

Chants of “sell the team” filled Little Caesars Arena as the Pistons fell to the short-handed Jazz on Thursday night for their 25th consecutive loss, one short of the single-season record.
Coby White says veteran center “changed the game for us at both ends”
One of the greatest pitchers in Japanese history is officially joining Shohei Ohtani in Los Angeles. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has agreed to a $325 million deal as L.A.’s big offseason continues.
The Los Angeles Rams needed an authoritative win over the New Orleans Saints Thursday evening, and they got it.
In front of a home crowd that included the much-hyped presence of Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter and pitcher Shohei Ohtani, the Rams smashed the Saints 30–22. Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford delivered a pair of touchdowns through the air, while wide receiver Puka Nacua was his usual excellent self, tallying nine receptions for 164 yards and a score.
The question now is where the two teams go from here.
