These aren’t your parents Los Angeles Rams. Okay, we’ve been wanting to use that for a while now. Anyway, this pass from Jared Goff to Sammy Watkins Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers was absolutely brilliant.
This @JaredGoff16 pass… PERFECT.

Look at how Watkins tracked that ball in between two 49ers defensive backs. It was definitely a Willie Mays style play right there. And it resulted in 46 yards to set the Rams up for a field goal to take a 27-13 third quarter lead.
For his part, Goff has looked like a completely different quarterback this season. Maybe, adding someone of Watkins’ ilk to the mix has helped him progress under center.
