For the third game in a row, the Rams offensive line did not give up a sack.

Left tackle Alaric Jackson, left guard Steve Avila, center Beaux Limmer, right guard Kevin Dotson and right tackle Rob Havenstein kept Stafford upright and cleared the way for Kyren Williams to rush for 122 yards in 23 carries.

Williams rushed for more than 100 yards for the second game in a row.

“Every time he steps on the grass, he’s a guy that loves to compete,” Stafford said. “We have quite a few guys on the offense that love to do it like that. It’s fun to be around him, but when he gets rolling and cooking like he was today, man, it’s a lot of fun.”
