LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams (4-4) welcome the struggling Miami Dolphins (2-6) into Sofi Stadium for Monday Night Football. The Rams searching for a fourth-straight win and to possess a winning record for the first time all season.

Remember the rule of five. The game is over if the Los Angeles Rams win that key statistical battle. For those who don't remember it, it has to do with sacks and turnovers. If the Rams have three sacks and give up two, they are plus one. They are plus three if they get four turnovers and give up only one. That would give them a plus-four for the day. They want to get to a plus-five ratio every game. On average, teams that reach the rule of five scenarios win 91 percent of their NFL games.

The Rams are one of the hottest teams in the league after their third-straight win last week, defeating NFC West rival, Seattle Seahawks (4-5) on the road in overtime. They will return home for their fifth game at Sofi Stadium where they possess a 3-1 record this season.

This game will mark the first time that both head coaches will face each other as leaders of their teams. Rams' Sean McVay and Dolphins' Mike McDaniel shared the same sideline as assistants under Mike Shanahan with the Washington Redskins. They will become head coach rivals for the first time.

The Dolphins are the second-lowest scoring offense in the NFL, currently averaging 15.5 points per game. After starting the season with a win, the Dolphins are losers of six of their last seven games, currently grinding through a three-game losing streak.

The Rams are responding after another classic Matthew Stafford game-winning touchdown drive that took place in the final moments of last week's win over Seattle. It was the 366th touchdown pass for Stafford which ranks him 10th all-time in career touchdown passes.

Stafford is looking to keep his hand hot with another sharp performance with several dangerous targets through the passing game. Eighth-year veteran receiver Demarcus Robinson has four touchdown catches in the past two games while Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua will do their damage.

Two former Rams will return to Sofi Stadium for the first time since hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in 2022. Dolphins' cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will have their homecoming on Monday night.

The latest development prior to kickoff came from the Dolphins' star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who has a torn ligament in his wrist but will play through it tonight, per Adam Schefter. This is a major development for the contest and the Dolphins will have their best offensive threat on the field.

Tyreek Hill told @saltersl that he has a torn ligament in his wrist. But he is playing through it tonight. https://t.co/V87oQpAchd

It will definitely be interesting to see how limited Hill will be in the offensive production and the amount of targets he received. Hill has been dealing with the injury since training camp and has kept quiet about it all season, until tonight. He will do his best to give it a go, saying "I don't miss games.".

The Los Angeles Rams were able to grab a pair of field goals on their final two possessions of the first half, cutting into a 10-0 lead that Dolphins had early in the ballgame.

The Rams came out extremely flat on offense, achieving just three first downs before their final drive of the half. The Dolphins found considerable pressure on Stafford, sacking him three times.

Both teams turned the ball over twice in the first 30 minutes with both teams forcing a fumble and an interception. For the Rams, linebacker Christian Rozeboom picked off Tagovailoa while rookie linebacker Jared Verse forced a fumble on Tagovailoa on a sack.

Verse now has 4.5 sacks to lead all rookies and found the first fumble recovery of his young career. Rozeboom caught the second interception of his four-year career.

The Rams found success late in the half as Stafford started to utilize the check down passes and found open receivers for short routes. A few stalled drives would lead to six points. Rookie kicker Joshua Karty hit a 55-yard field goal as time expired. It marks the longest of Karty's career.
