Rams spoil Raiders’ return to Coliseum

RAMS 19, RAIDERS 15

LOS ANGELES — The Raiders were back, but the Rams were better.

Rookie John Kelly rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown, and the Los Angeles Rams welcomed the Raiders back to the Coliseum with a 19-15 preseason victory over Oakland on Saturday.

Chris Warren rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown for the Raiders in their return to the venerable stadium that was their home for 13 seasons. Their still-passionate Southern California fan base turned out in force.

The Rams’ backups dominated the Raiders’ reserves in the first half, taking a 13-0 lead while holding Oakland to 58 yards and one first down.

Oakland trailed 16-0 before mounting a rally, but the Raiders failed on their second 2-point conversion attempt of the day following Griff Whalen’s 10-yard TD catch with 9:52 to play.

The Raiders’ offense didn’t record its second first down of the day until late in the third quarter, but Warren capped the 75-yard drive with a 3-yard TD run.

JAGUARS 14, VIKINGS 10

MINNEAPOLIS — Yannick Ngakoue had an 11-yard sack that helped the Jaguars’ defense hold Kirk Cousins and the Vikings’ starting offense to three completions and three points, and Jacksonville’s reserves rallied for a victory over Minnesota on Saturday.

The Vikings went three-and-out on two of their four possessions with their new quarterback. Latavius Murray’s second fumble, stripped by Malik Jackson, was recovered by Calais Campbell to end another drive. Cousins finished just 3 for 8 for 12 yards.

Bortles played the entire first half and went 12 for 20 for 159 yards, producing a touchdown run by Leonard Fournette on one of his seven series.

ATLANTA — Patrick Mahomes had an up-and-down game against Atlanta but delivered a spectacular first-half pass to Tyreek Hill for a 69-yard touchdown in Kansas City’s victory.

BILLS 19, BROWNS 17

CLEVELAND — Buffalo quarterback AJ McCarron sustained a potentially serious shoulder injury, throwing the team’s quarterback situation into total disarray, during a victory over Cleveland.

CARDINALS 20, SAINTS 15

NEW ORLEANS — Free-agent acquisition Sam Bradford and 10th overall draft choice Josh Rosen combined to provide a promising outlook for Arizona’s quarterback situation.

After Bradford completed all 6 of his passes for 61 yards, Rosen went 10 of 16 for 107 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown to rookie Christian Kirk in a victory over New Orleans. Kirk finished with four receptions for 49 yards, and Chad Williams caught three passes for 44 yards for Arizona.
