The Rams’ offense looked ugly for much of the first half of Sunday’s cross-town matchup with the Chargers.

But the Rams took the lead with a successful two-minute drive and ended up scoring 21 unanswered points to win 24-9.

The Rams did not have a first down until Matthew Stafford connected with Tutu Atwell for a 40-yard gain down the left side with 1:26 remaining in the half. That led to Kyren Williams’ 1-yard touchdown with 19 seconds remaining in the second quarter.

Then the Rams doubled up with Blake Corum’s 23-yard touchdown run at the start of the second half, putting the team up 17-9.

Following Justin Herbert’s second interception of the day, Puka Nacua took a screen pass 18 yards for a touchdown to give the Rams a 15-point advantage.

Nacua ended the day with 11 receptions for 80 yards on 12 targets.

Matthew Stafford finished 17-of-25 for 157 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

While the Rams had just 10 yards rushing at the end of the first half, they ended up with 129 with a strong performance in the second half.

Corum led with 73 yards on 11 carries with a TD while Williams had 56 yards on 16 carries.

It was another ugly day for Herbert and the Chargers’ offense, which did not reach the end zone on the day. Herbert finished 24-of-32 for 257 yards with two picks. Quentin Lake had the first pick during the first quarter, leading to a Brandon McManus 30-yard field goal.

Trent McDuffie had the second pick.

Ladd McConkey led with four catches for 86 yards.

The Rams do have a pair of injury concerns at cornerback. First Jaylen Watson had to exit and did not return with a shoulder issue. Then McDuffie suffered a back injury and had to be sidelined.

The Rams have now won back-to-back games for the first time this season. At 4-4, the Rams will be on the road to face the Commanders in Week 9.

At 0-7, the reeling Chargers will be at home to face the Texans next weekend.
