Downey RB Bernardo Blanco ran for 174 yards and 3 TDs and caught four passes for 71 yards, including the game-tying TD pass with 14 seconds remaining. Downey outlasts Millikan, 69-68. How’s Blanco feeling physically after this bruising barn-burner? “Terrible” 😂

Downey and Millikan combined for 137 points, over 1,200 yards of offense and 11 lead changes up to a one-point margin of victory with 14 seconds left. My @PressTelegram story from a wild night in Long Beach: presstelegram.com/2024/09/07/dow…

Look good, play better 😮‍💨 The footwork! The ball placement! GET THAT TUDDY, BIG MAN ☀️😈☀️

Ahhhhhh… NFL football. We are ALLLLL the way back.

The immediate on-his-knees surrender cobra from Will Levis upon tossing an ill-advised, game-losing pick-6 is… well, it’s art, really 😅

Always a bold move when teams dangle their correct uniforms in front of all their fans, only to go back to their incorrect full-time kit the next week. These probably need some modern smoothing over (like using the current logo) but the base elements and colors are right here.

There is a lotttttttttt of bad football today. Offenses around the league certainly not up to speed on day one.

Like, my god, Deshaun Watson. Go home. Forever, preferably.

I actually have been waiting all day for Sunday Night. RAM IT. #RamsHouse

How does this Rams season open? Three straight passes, -3 yards, 3-and-out. I pray Sean McVay rediscovers the consistent run game. It’ll be absolutely necessary. (Especially if this pass blocking doesn’t hold up.)

Rams could, should completely be in the lead and in control of this game, despite their eternally crumbling O-line. Two red zone chances just thrown away. Defensive pressure has been encouraging, though. #RamsHouse

Rams offensive line is an absolutely jigsaw puzzle right now 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

The offensive line gets Thanos-snapped, and somehow, running the ball has started to work. Sure! 😂 #RamsHouse

Undeniable how good this show looked. Best, most complete season of TV I’ve seen in a while. #ShogunFX (No, they should not be doing a season two.)

MAD respect to this Rams defense tonight. THE single reason they still have a chance to win this thing. FINISH. THE. DRIVE. #RamsHouse

Sure. Overtime. Sure. Just what I needed in Week 1. Sure. Let’s go. #RamsHouse

Rams defense was absolutely gassed in overtime. Gave everything they had to get it to that point. Offense just completely threw away at least two red zone drives in the first half, and ultimately, that’s the game. Get healthy for Week 2. 😅 #RamsHouse
