Much different than last season, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield was special on Christmas Day.

This Christmas, Mayfield is with his third team and put together his best game since the 2020 season with Cleveland.

Last season on Christmas Day, then Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield threw four interceptions against the Green Bay Packers.

Sean McVay and his Rams may be out of the playoff race, but Baker Mayfield continues to give fans a reason to watch the team.

He has also thrown just one interception, which is definitely a good development after he was intercepted six times in seven games with the Panthers this 2022. The former Cleveland Browns and Carolina Panthers QB completed 24 of his 28 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns with no interception, allowing LA to win 51-14. With that said, it’s not a surprise why head coach Sean McVay has glowing praises for his new quarterback.

Despite the L.A. Rams Christmas Day blowout, they are 8-point underdogs to the Chargers.

Or is it underrating how good the Rams were in Week 16? Durant had two of L.A.’s four interceptions against the Broncos, with Jalen Ramsey and Bobby Wagner accounting for the others.

I hope the NFL never stops doing Nickelodeon games because watching players speak earnestly about the NVP award and who they’d like to slime is far better than most any postgame interview in any sport. Mayfield, who won the Heisman Trophy in college, was asked where the NVP ranked among his list of career accolades and he said “it’s up there…it’s a true honor” which is an incredible quote about a blimp trophy. Along the way they were treated to

Wilson entered 27th out of 33 NFL qualifiers in quarterback rating and 28th in QBR, per Remember when Russell Wilson would always say "Broncos Country, Let's Ride?" Quarterback Baker Mayfield cruised to a 24-of-28 day for 230 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Russell Wilson's struggles continued with interceptions on each of Denver's first two drives thanks to Rams cornerback Cobie Bryant and linebacker Bobby Wagner. Running back Cam Akers amassed 147 total yards and three touchdowns, and tight end Tyler Higbee added nine receptions, 94 yards and two scores. They entered Week 16 scoring a league-worst 15.6 points per game.

During his two-plus decades career he was one of the best players in the NBA and the best player in Mavericks franchise history, leading the team to the 2011 NBA Championship over the Miami Heat. Time for a Russell Wilson Reset The Broncos rank last in the NFL in points scored. The touchdown was his seventh of the season and sixth in his last six games. He has improved his percentage of votes each year and Rolen is considered to have a good chance to be voted in by the writers, whether it is this year or possibly next. Wilson intercepted Brady for the second time late in the third quarter to set up a go-ahead score for Arizona. Michael Jordan was undoubtedly one of the biggest superstars to ever play in the NBA. It was the game of the century and a showdown to see who would be the team of the decade in the 1970’s. Wagner was a seven-time all-star and besides the lack of innings, his other blemish is his postseason performance. This is his sixth season on the ballot and last year he received 63.2% of the vote. And for those who don’t think it was a big deal, both the Yankees and Dodgers, who lost to Houston in seven-game series in the ALCS and World Series respectively, didn’t hold back on their criticism of the Astros. For those who give all the credit to the hitting atmosphere in Coors Field, he has a 133 career OPS+ and a 132 WRC+. The fact that he was the mastermind, well, that was cheating the game.

Baker Mayfield completed 24-of-28 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' dominant 51-14 victory over the Denver Broncos.

Despite the Rams missing their top three receivers, as well as several of their starting offensive linemen, Mayfield outplayed Russell Wilson, who the Broncos ...

That’s a tough defense as we know and he got us in and out of the right plays. The quarterback position, there’s just so many things that are involved with that and it’s not exclusive to just when he is dropping back and throwing the football, getting us in and out of the right looks in the run game. He’s led the Rams to two wins and thrown four touchdown passes with only one interception, playing at a high level in an offense he’s still learning.

Mayfield set a franchise record for completion percentage in a game during their 51-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday and he's won two of the three games he's ...

Where Mayfield’s future will be remains up in the air, but he’s answered a lot of doubts about having one since arriving in Los Angeles. “He’s a good quarterback. Despite not having much time to learn the offense, Mayfield went 24-of-28 for 230 yards and two touchdowns to tight end

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay heaped praise upon quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has been outstanding in his brief time as LA's starter.

The NFL flexed that game out of the primetime slot next Sunday in favor of a game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. For now, Mayfield will prepare for a battle against the Los Angeles Chargers. “I think probably better (than expected), but I always – you guys know, I was always a fan of him and I think he’s played really well,” McVay said after the game. Although, if he does not land a starting gig somewhere else next season, perhaps his success with McVay warrants him a return to the Rams as a backup. McVay had said how highly he thought of Mayfield before arriving in Los Angeles, and through three games, he’s exceeded the coach’s expectations. 1 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft but after discouraging stints in Cleveland and Carolina, it seemed unlikely he would be the answer to McVay’s offense.

It's too early to end QB's perfect chemistry with Sean McVay.

While Mayfield is set to have plenty of suitors for a starting role next year, his best option is to remain in Los Angeles as a backup to Matthew Stafford and under the tutelage of Sean McVay. Between Cobie Durant, Bobby Wagner, Jalen Ramsey, Larrell Murchison, Michael Hoecht, and others, there were plenty of promising individual performances on the defensive side of the ball. Baker Mayfield was stellar as he continues to audition for a starting role in 2023 - completing 24 of 28 passes for 230 yards and 2 TD’s.

The Rams' pressure on Wilson improbably was led by Murchison, who signed with LA 13 days ago after Tennessee cut him. The second pick was by Bobby Wagner, who faced his longtime teammate and friend for the first time after spending a full decade together in Seattle. Los Angeles had scored just one touchdown off a takeaway all season long before doing it twice more in the first quarter. They subsequently scored touchdowns on four consecutive drives for the first time in McVay's tenure. Akers then punched it in again 1:06 before halftime for a 31-3 lead. For at least one more week, Los Angeles avoided becoming the first defending Super Bowl champion to lose 11 games.

He signed with an injury-riddled Rams team and has created a spark in an otherwise very disappointing season. I thought he saw the field outstanding." The defense will get a lot of credit after creating four turnovers, but both the Rams offense and Mayfield deserve credit of their own, capitalizing off those with 23 points. "I thought he played really quickly.

That game was originally scheduled for Sunday night, but it’s been flexed out in favor of the Steelers-Ravens matchup in Baltimore. He had nine catches for 94 yards overall and is now the Rams’ all-time leader in catches, yards, and touchdowns among tight ends. Akers ran 23 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns while Higbee was on the receiving end of both Mayfield touchdown passes.

Mayfield completed 24-of-28 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns to help the Rams rout Wilson and the Broncos 51-14 on Sunday. There’s no such relief in sight for Wilson and the Broncos.

Baker Mayfield's postgame interview was suddenly interrupted by a fight between Broncos DE Randy Gregory and Rams G Odey Aboushi .

Gregory and the rest of the defense have played pretty well before this game, but they seem to have finally hit their limit. Gregory, in particular, will incur a larger penalty, as he was the one who instigated the altercation. The full video of the incident was shared by Michael Spencer on Twitter.

And that came to light after the game ended in which the Broncos were pummeled by the [Los Angeles Rams](https://www.marca.com/en/nfl/los-angeles-rams.html). But things have not gone as expected. Television cameras were showing CBS reporter Tracey Wolfson interviewing Mayfield, who had 24 completions out of 28 attempts, 230 yards and 2 TDs.

After taking a photo with Baker Mayfield on Christmas, Lincoln Riley's replies were full of salty Oklahoma fans who were irrationally angry.

You would be as welcome in Norman as a wet fart! He brought the family to watch his former Heisman-winning quarterback make a start on Christmas Day and they all took a photo with Mayfield after the game. This all took place after Riley won at least 11 games in four of five years as head coach. That has been the case for an entire year, ever since Riley moved from Norman to Los Angeles for a better, more lucrative opportunity. Meanwhile, 6-6, unranked Oklahoma and first-year head coach Brent Venables will play in the Cheez-It Bowl. 8 at 11-2, will coach in the Cotton Bowl on Jan.

Both of Mayfield’s touchdown passes went to tight end Tyler Higbee, who became the franchise’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions. Here is everything the Rams quarterback had to say in his postgame press conference. The former Oklahoma star completed his first 11 passes of the game and went on to finish 24-of-28 passing for 230 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
