The Rams opened the season with a low-scoring but action-packed victory over the Texans at SoFi Stadium. Quarterback Matthew Stafford left any doubts about his health behind by throwing for 245 yards and a touchdown, 130 of which went to wide receiver Puka Nacua.
Meanwhile, the defense locked down Houston's offense, allowing zero touchdowns. Inside linebacker Nate Landman's punch-out late in the fourth quarter helped Los Angeles seal the victory, while an interception from Cobie Durant and three total sacks helped keep Houston out of the end zone all game.
