With the first half of the season (almost) in the books, let’s take a look back at some of the top plays that helped the Rams get to 5-2 entering their bye week. Not surprisingly, Todd Gurley appears on this list fairly often.

And away we go…

1. Pharoh Cooper’s 103-yard kickoff return for a TD

Cooper started the game against Jacksonville with a bang, returning the opening kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown. The play speaks for itself as the Rams’ best of the season, and the longest in the NFL.

2. Todd Gurley’s 18-yard TD run vs. Arizona

Gurley showed off his entire skill set on this single run. He made an unblocked defender miss at the line of scrimmage before beating another to the edge. It was arguably his best run of the season.

3. Jared Goff to Sammy Watkins for 48 yards

Goff has made a lot of nice throws this season, but none were prettier than this 47-yard rainbow to Watkins. It was perfectly thrown and Watkins did a great job tracking the ball in the air to make the basket catch.

4. Todd Gurley hurdles defender en route to end zone

Gurley, being a hurdler in high school, has made a living jumping over defenders, making them look foolish in the open field. He’s done it several times this season, and his best came on a touchdown catch against the Redskins.

5. Todd Gurley 53-yard TD reception

Yep, Gurley’s on the list again. He carved through the Cowboys’ defense for a 53-yard touchdown catch, breaking Jeff Heath’s ankles in the middle of the field. Josh Reynold’s brutal block sprung him loose, which is an underrated part of this play.

6. Two pick-sixes vs. Colts

The Rams picked off Scott Tolzien twice in Week 1, returning both for touchdowns. The first was by Trumaine Johnson, who ran it back 39 yards for a score on Tolzien’s first pass. Lamarcus Joyner also had one from 29 yards out, making it 37-7 Rams.

7. Cory Littleton’s blocked punt, Malcolm Brown’s return

The Rams’ special teams unit was, well, special against the Jaguars. Their second score of the game came on a blocked punt by Littleton, which was scooped up by Brown and carried into the end zone for a touchdown.
