The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 20-15 on Sunday, capitalizing on multiple turnovers by Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew. Minshew committed four turnovers—three interceptions and a fumble—that led directly to 14 Rams points. Rams safety Jaylen McCollough intercepted Minshew twice, bringing his season total to three interceptions in six games, tying for the second-most ever by a Rams rookie in their first six games. Rams running back Kyren Williams scored two rushing touchdowns, increasing his season total to eight, though kicker Karty missed an extra point after one of the scores. The Rams' defense was instrumental, with Cobie Durant forcing a fumble that Kam Curl returned for a touchdown on a strip sack. The Raiders have now had three turnovers in three straight games, tied for their longest streak in the last 15 seasons. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce lamented the team's penalties and turnovers, while Minshew acknowledged his performance was "unacceptable" and "not fair" to his team.
