Watch: Sean McVay Delivers Postgame Victory Speech Following Rams' Week 8 Win Over Texans
The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Houston Texans 38-22, securing their seventh win of the season.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 21 of 32 passes for 305 yards and three touchdowns. He found wide receiver Cooper Kupp early and often, connecting seven times for 115 yards and one touchdown. The dup of Stafford and Kupp has been one of the league's most prominent pairings, and in Week 8, the Texans had no answers for slowing them down.
On defense, the Rams were led by rookie linebacker Ernest Jones, who received his first NFL start, and registered nine tackles, 0.5 sack, two quarterback hits, one interception and one pass breakup.
Following the Week 8 game, Rams coach Sean McVay delivered a postgame victory speech as L.A. moves to 7-1 on the season.
In McVay's postgame speech to the team, he gave out a game ball to Jones.

In Week 9, the Rams will host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Nov. 7 at 5:20 p.m. PT inside SoFi Stadium as L.A. searches for their eighth win of the season.
