Kyren Williams ran 76 yards for two touchdowns and Kamren Curl returned a fumble for a score as the Los Angeles Rams cruised to a 20-15 victory over the visiting Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

The Rams won despite quarterback Matthew Stafford throwing for just 154 yards with an interception. Los Angeles was without wide receivers Cooper Kupp (ankle), who missed his fourth straight game, and Puka Nacua (ankle), who remains on injured reserve.

The Rams (2-4) gained 259 total yards in the win, while the Raiders gained 317 yards, albeit with four turnovers. Jaylen McCollough had two interceptions for the Rams, including one with 1:18 left to seal the win.

Rams head coach Sean McVay tied John Robinson for the most wins in franchise history with 79.

Daniel Carlson made five field goals while Gardner Minshew II threw for 154 yards with three interceptions for the Raiders after replacing Aidan O'Connell (thumb) late in the first quarter. Rookie Brock Bowers had 10 receptions for 93 yards.

Alexander Mattison ran for 92 yards for Las Vegas (2-5), which traded wide receiver Davante Adams to the New York Jets earlier this week and was without wideout Jakobi Meyers (ankle). The Raiders lost their third game in a row.

After a scoreless first quarter, Minshew drove the Raiders 56 yards in nine plays on his first drive of the game, scoring on a 38-yard field goal from Carlson for a 3-0 lead.

After Cobie Durant Minshew intercepted less than five minutes before halftime, the Rams gained 47 yards in four plays, leading to a 13-yard TD run by Williams. It gave Williams a game-winning touchdown in all six games this season and in nine consecutive games since 2023.

Five plays after Williams scored, Durant forced Minshew to fumble on a sack, and Curl returned the ball 33 yards for a touchdown and a 14-3 lead with 1:14 left in the first half. The Raiders cut the deficit to 14-6 on the final play of the first half with a 47-yard field goal from Carlson.

After Minshew was intercepted by McCollough midway through the third quarter, the Rams needed two plays before Williams scored on a 2-yard run for a 20-6 lead. Kicker Joshua Karty missed the extra point.

Carlson hit field goals of 38 and 27 yards to put Las Vegas up 20-12 with 14:42 left before Karty missed a 35-yard attempt at the left upright with 10:11 left. Carlson's final field goal was a 27-yarder with 2:46 left.
