ht’s remarkable game between the Chiefs and Rams that easily became overlooked in the flurry of activity in a frenetic fourth quarter.The Rams nearly blew the game by mismanaging the clock after an interception that could have (should have) sealed the victory.Cornerback Marcus Peters ended a Kansas City drive by catching a Patrick Mahomes throw at the L.A. 35. Only 78 seconds remained in the game Brandin Cooks Jersey , but the Chiefs had all three of their time outs.The drive began with a false start from left tackle Andrew Whitworth, forcing the Rams into a first-and-15 situation from their own 30. On first down, quarterback Jared Goff threw a short pass to receiver Robert Woods, who nearly went out of bounds. On second down, Goff threw again — a short pass that Chiefs defensive back Ron Parker nearly intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Instead, the ball hit the ground Authentic Ramik Wilson Jersey , and the clock stopped without the Chiefs taking another time out.On third down, another throw. This time, receiver Brandin Cooks gained nothing on a screen play, and the Chiefs took their second time out. As the Rams prepared to punt, the drive had consumed only 14 seconds and only two time outs.Punter Johnny Hekker‘s 68-yard missile (along with punt returner Tyreek Hill‘s decision to bring the punt out of the end zone), put the Chiefs in a tough spot Youth Cooper Kupp Jersey , starting the final drive from the 12 yard line. That went a long way toward keeping the Chiefs from moving toward a possible game-tying field goal. Most importantly, it prevented Rams coach Sean McVay from having to answer plenty of tough questions about what would have been an uncharacteristic and inexplicable failure by one of the best coaches in football to force the Chiefs to use all three of their time outs by keeping the ball on the ground and churning as much of the clock as possible. Like the rest of the Rams offense, Jared Goff tore through the league for the first 11 games of the season, but things got off track for the quarterback after their Week 12 bye.His completion percentage plummeted and he threw six interceptions in three games after throwing six all year heading into that stretch. That led to a lot of discussion about what might be wrong with Goff and/or the offense in general, but things are quieter on that front this week.Wide receiver Brandin Cooks said he saw a renewed “sense of urgency” from the quarterback heading into last Sunday’s game against the Cardinals and Goff went 19-of-24 for 216 yards and a touchdown in the victory. Goff said Wednesday that it felt like a return to the previous standard.“It didn’t feel different than 90 percent of the season,” Goff said http://www.ramsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-john-johnson-jersey , via the . “It felt different maybe than the couple weeks prior. It felt like who we are, and it felt like what we normally do.”The quality of opponent was a drop from back-to-back losses to the Bears and Eagles, so others may not be as quick to say that all is back to where it should be for Goff. This week’s game against the 49ers gives him a chance to provide more evidence, but it seems likely that the playoffs will provide the ultimate word on whether Goff and the Rams have their groove all the way back.
