Los Angeles Rams Pull Off Stunning Last-Minute Trade: How It Reshapes the NFC Playoff Race

Subheadings: Kickoff Details • Injury Report Update • Stafford-Adams Chemistry in Focus • Key Matchups to Watch • How to Stream the Game • Outlook & Prediction Kickoff Details The Los Angeles Rams (4-2) touch down in the U.K. this Sunday for the final London game of the 2025 NFL International Series, facing the equally 4-2 Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET (6:30 a.m. PT), with national coverage on NFL Network and streaming via NFL+ and FuboTV for out-of-market viewers. Injury Report Update Head coach Sean McVay will be without breakout rookie wideout Puka Nacua (hamstring) and stalwart right tackle Rob Havenstein (ankle), both ruled out on the final injury report. Their absences elevate veteran Cooper Kupp and mid-season trade acquisition Davante Adams into featured roles, while Alaric Jackson shifts to right tackle opposite first-round rookie LT Amarius Mims. Stafford-Adams Chemistry in Focus Since Adams arrived from Las Vegas in Week 4, Matthew Stafford has a passer rating of 119.7 when targeting the All-Pro, including three touchdowns over the past two games. London offers their biggest stage yet, and McVay hinted this week that the playbook will “lean into Davante’s route-tree versatility,” a sign the Rams intend to stress Jacksonville’s young secondary vertically and from the slot. Key Matchups to Watch • Aaron Donald vs Brandon Scherff – Donald’s interior pressure (34 total pressures, third-most among DTs) must disrupt Trevor Lawrence’s rhythm. • Cooper Kupp vs Tyson Campbell – With Nacua sidelined, Kupp’s option routes against Campbell’s press coverage become paramount to moving the chains. • Ernest Jones shadowing Travis Etienne – Jones’ 38 stops rank top 5 among linebackers; limiting Etienne’s yards after contact is critical on the slick London turf. How to Stream the Game Fans searching “LA Rams live stream” can watch on NFL Network via cable login, or use NFL+ (mobile/tablet U.S.) and FuboTV’s seven-day free trial for cord-cutters. U.K. viewers can catch the broadcast on Sky Sports NFL or stream with NOW TV’s Day Pass. Outlook & Prediction Oddsmakers opened with Jacksonville as 1-point favorites, but late-week injury news flipped the line to Rams-1 at most sportsbooks. Expect McVay’s offense to feature heavy play-action off Kyren Williams’ inside zone, testing a Jaguars front that allowed 142 rushing yards a week ago. If Donald and rookie edge Laiatu Latu can collapse the pocket, the Rams should capitalize on a neutral-site “home” crowd that typically tilts NFC West in London. Final score prediction: Rams 24, Jaguars 20.
