[GAME_RECAP]
Dillon “Big Dill” Smith here, and SoFi was saucy. The Rams outlasted the upstart Colts 27-20, and it felt every bit like a heavyweight spar. Matthew Stafford (29/41, 375 yards, 3 TD) was dealing, and his chemistry with Puka Nacua (13 catches, 170 yards, TD) was straight premium—digs, slants, sideline outs, you name it. Indy countered with Daniel Jones (24/33, 262 yards, TD) steadying the ship and Jonathan Taylor (17 for 76) grinding between the tackles, but L.A.’s big-play meter kept flashing green.
Early on, Indy punched first with a goal-line wrinkle—tight end Tyler Warren on the keeper for six—before the Rams stole momentum late in the half on a crisp two-minute march capped by Davante Adams (4 for 56, TD) with 11 ticks left. The second-half turning point? A viral heartbreaker: Adonai Mitchell (3 for 96) ripped a 75-yard catch-and-run and, celebrating a beat too soon, lost the ball through the end zone for a touchback—the NFL’s cardinal sin and a massive swing.

The fourth quarter got spicy. After a Stafford fumble gifted Indy short field, the Colts nudged ahead 20-13, but the Rams answered with a vintage Stafford heater—Nacua converting key downs, then finishing the drive with a tough 9-yard score to tie it. With the clock bleeding, rookie edge juice showed up and the Colts unraveled—penalties, a strip-sack, a punt—and then boom: one play, Tutu Atwell (88-yard TD) turned on the jets for the walk-off haymaker. For good measure, Kam Curl snagged a late pick to close the jar.
Big Dill of the Game? That’s Puka Nacua. Thirteen snags, a buck-seventy, the game-tying TD, and a clinic in route craft and toughness—he was the straw, the shaker, and the brine. Rams cover the -3.5, the under on 49.5 sneaks home, and L.A. rolls out of Week 4 feeling fresh. (bleacherreport.com)
That’s a wrap from Big Dill Sports—where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next time, folks.
