Rams' Baker Mayfield: Struggles in Week 15 loss
Mayfield completed 12 of 21 passes for 111 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Rams' 24-12 loss to the Packers on Monday night. He also rushed once for one yard.
Mayfield's first official start in a Rams uniform -- John Wolford (neck) opened the Week 14 win over the Raiders before quickly exiting after one series -- was underwhelming compared to the way the 2018 first overall pick wrapped up his team debut. Mayfield took five sacks and was hit an additional four times by a relentless Packers defense, and he was picked off early in the fourth quarter to squash any thoughts of another comeback. He connected with Tyler Higbee for his one touchdown, but the rapport he'd flashed with Ben Skowronek, Tutu Atwell and Van Jefferson in Week 14 was mostly non-existent Monday as the trio of wideouts combined for just four receptions and 35 yards on nine targets. The next installment of Mayfield's stretch-run audition comes in a Week 16 home showdown against the Broncos on Christmas Day.
