After Wild 48 Hours, Baker Mayfield Rallies Rams for 4th-Quarter Comeback Over Raiders (17-16)

It was Tuesday when the Rams signed QB Baker Mayfield off waivers to fill the void left by injured QB Matthew Stafford. A mere 48 hours later, Mayfield rallied his team from 13 points down in the 4th quarter against the Raiders to claim his first win in Los Angeles (17-16). The Raiders controlled the game for three quarters, leading 16-3 with 12 minutes to play, but Mayfield engineered back-to-back touchdown drives. He capped the night by dropping a 23-yard dime to WR Van Jefferson with 10 seconds left. It was a heartbreaking loss for the Raiders (5-8), but an unbelievable week for Mayfield who went from jobless to primetime hero. The Rams (4-9) just ended a six-game losing streak. Take a bow, Baker.
