Useful takeaways from this story.

Quarterback Bo Nix: stock up after a poor first half but three second-half TDs and the game-winning drive.

Run game concerns remain: JK Dobbins’ 2.9 yards per carry kept his stock down despite the comeback.

Role players stepped up: Pat Bryant, RJ Harvey and Tyler Badie provided key receiving, conversion and blocking plays.

# Game context Rams 16-0 at halftime and then produced a 30-point second half to win. The comeback included three offensive touchdowns, two successful two-point conversions, a defensive pick-six, and a game-winning interception in the end zone. That sequence created multiple clear winners and a handful of continued concerns across the 53-man roster.

# Quarterbacks Bo Nix — stock up. Nix struggled in the first half and nearly threw two interceptions early, but he revived the offense in the second half, delivering three touchdown passes including the game-winner. The performance was uneven, but the late-game production and another fourth-quarter comeback add value to his standing.

Jarret Stidham — unchanged. Remains the veteran backup.

Sam Ehlinger — unchanged. Still the emergency third-string quarterback.

# Running backs JK Dobbins — stock down. He averaged 2.9 yards per carry and failed to generate consistent running-game traction. A few positive early-down runs were present, but overall the ground game fell short of expectations.

RJ Harvey — stock up. Harvey led the team in receptions with six for 41 yards and is contributing reliably as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Tyler Badie — stock up. He fulfilled his role on third downs, served as a pass protector, handled a one-on-one matchup with Aaron Donald, and added a short reception. His situational play mattered in a tight game.

Adam Prentice — stock down. Played only four offensive snaps, raising questions about the value of keeping a fullback active given limited usage on short-yardage plays.

# Wide receivers and pass catchers Jaylen Waddle — stock down. Expected to be a primary playmaker in a big game, he finished with just two catches for 10 yards. He did catch a two-point conversion, but overall production was below expectations versus a strong Rams secondary.

Courtland Sutton — unchanged. Quiet stat line but involved: seven targets that produced three receptions for 46 yards.

Pat Bryant — stock up. Bryant converted two receptions into a touchdown and a two-point conversion, and added a critical 39-yard catch-and-run late in the fourth quarter. He also was involved in a late DPI that extended the winning drive.

# Defensive and special-teams notes The defensive sequence that produced a pick-six and the game-clinching interception were decisive for the comeback, though individual defensive stock assessments were not detailed beyond the turnover impact.

# What this means going forward
