In the second quarter, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford intercepted passes in a row; Replacing Derrick Henry as Tennessee Titans starting to run back, 36-year-old future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson had 21 yards and landed 10 carries.
The Tennessee Titans – without their superstar running back Derrick Henry – stunned the Los Angeles Rams with a 28-16 win at SoFi Stadium in Sunday Night Football.
Henry’s replacements – 36-year-old future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson, Jeremy McNichols and D’Onta Foreman – have ridden 74 yards on 22 stems together. Peterson scored a touchdown goal in the fourth quarter in his first game for his new team.

The strongest start was Los Angeles, leading 3-0 when Matt Gay shot a 34-yard field goal that was set when Jalen Ramsey intercepted Ryan Tannehill.
But the second quarter hit Tennessee hard: Stafford was the first to unreasonably force the pass when defended in his end zone, David Long knocked out Rams QB, and in the next game Tannehill picked Jeff Sueim’s tight end for touchdown.
Stafford’s next pass was similarly unsuccessful, with a Kevin Bjard interception this time returning 24 yards for a touchdown with a pick-six that suddenly put the Titans in the lead 14-3.
Tennessee’s offense needed no help on his next possession, running the ball 64 yards down the field in 14 games that took more than seven minutes to finish on Tannehill’s goal line. The advantage of guests at half-time is 21: 3.
Los Angeles scored in its first two attacking streaks in the second half, but failed to find an end zone on both occasions, content with field goals to narrow the deficit to 12.
