Rams vs Jaguars: How to watch on TV, stream or listen on radio

Rams travel across the pond for a tilt at Wembley Stadium

The Los Angeles Rams roadshow travels across the Atlantic Ocean for a Sunday October 19 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 a.m. PST from the pitch at Wembley Stadium in London,UK. This Sunday will mark L.A.’s fifth trip to England and they have split the previous four games. Sean McVay is 2-0 under the Union Jack.

It’s the Rams third game at Wembley Stadium, getting smoked 45-7 in their first trip in 2012 by the New England Patriots. That was the St. Louis version under Jeff Fisher’s lead. In 2019 (under McVay) L.A. knocked off the Cincinnati Bengals 24-10. The Rams have also played a pair of games at Twickenham Stadium (also in London), again losing under Jeff Fisher to the New York Giants 17-10 in 2016 and then blanking the Arizona Cardinals 33-0 under McVay in the following year.

The Jaguars have a long history in the UK, having played on the Isle 13 times and collecting a 7-6 record. With nine of those games at Wembley Stadium, the Jags would seem to have a considerable “home field” advantage.

Wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) and right tackle Rob Havenstein (ankle) have been ruled out for the game, but the rest of the Rams walking wounded were full participants in the final practice and as such, WR Tutu Atwell, ILB Omar Speights, TE Colby Parkinson, and RB Blake Corum are all likely to play. For Jacksonville, only ILB Devin Lloyd (calf) and TE Quintin Morris (groin) are sitting out. Former Rams Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long will handle TE duties for the Jags

How good has Poona Ford been for Rams so far?

Signing Poona Ford in free agency as a replacement for Bobby Brown is among the best one-for-one upgrades in the NFL this season. Ford has elevated the Los Angeles Rams defense and is playing a major role in the team’s success in 2025.

Ford and Brown are diverging in 2025​

These are the Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades and metrics for Ford and Brown through Week 6. The Rams must feel positively about their decision to let Brown walk in free agency and sign with the Carolina Panthers.

Poona Ford

• Ranks 6th among DT’s in overall grade (85.3)
• 4th in run defense (83.0)
• 69.1 pass rushing grade (11 pressures)
• Exact same overall grade as he posted last season with LA Chargers

Bobby Brown

• Ranks 97th in overall grade (55.4)
• 64th in run defense (58.8)
• 49.6 pass rushing grade (3 pressures)
• On pace for the lowest overall grade of his career

Rams NT Poona Ford currently ranks 4th in overall defensive grade (87.8) and 3rd in run defense grade (86.7) among all interior defensive linemen in the NFL (minimum 50% snaps played), according to @PFF. Ford also ranks T-7th in tackles causing unsuccessful plays for the offense… pic.twitter.com/GPI1E2RJJR

How Ford is elevating Rams defense​

After watching Saquon Barkley rip off long runs against the Rams at his will last season, LA’s run defense has taken a major step forward and slowed star running backs often. These are the rushing totals for the best rushers they’ve faced so far. The Jacksonville Jaguars also have a formidable run game led by speedsters in Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten.

Week 3 vs Saquon Barkley

18 rushes for 46 yards (2.6 average)

Barkley is averaging 54 yards per game in 2025.

Week 4 vs Jonathan Taylor

17 rushes for 76 yards (4.5 average)

Taylor is averaging 101 yards per game in 2025 and has seven TD’s.

Week 5 vs Christian McCaffrey

22 rushes for 57 yards (2.6 average)

McCaffrey is averaging 56 yards per game.

Week 6 vs Derrick Henry

24 rushes for 122 yards (5.1 average)

Henry is averaging 73 yards per game. Rams were his second highest yardage total on the season. He has four games at 50 yards or under.

Overall thoughts

While the games against Barkley and McCaffrey seemed impressive at the time, it’s fair to say that the running games for the Eagles and 49ers are not nearly as potent as they’ve been in recent years. Both teams are struggling along the interior of the offensive line, though the Rams deserve credit for keeping them down.

LA’s effort against Henry is concerning, though the Ravens had minimal production through the air and were likely challenging Cooper Rush to beat them (he did not).

Rams-Jaguars final score: London called, L.A. answered

The Los Angeles Rams (5-2) beat the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-3) by a final score of 35-7 in London on Sunday. Blame the officiating as they gifted L.A. plenty of first downs, AND give credit to Sean McVay, Chris Shula, Matthew Stafford and the Rams who came into London and whooped up on Jacksonville.

L.A. dominated, and if you are a Rams fan, then this was very fun to watch, for Jacksonville, it was frustrating.

L.A. led 28-0 in the fourth quarter after Stafford threw four passing touchdowns. The Rams technically weren’t unstoppable as they slowed up some on offense in the second-half (mostly the third quarter), but they were the better squad on Sunday, and the final score reflected that.

No-look TD pass?? Matthew is DIFFERENT.

Without Puka Nacua, Stafford spread the ball out with Davantae Adams catching three TD’s, and rookies Konata Mumpfield and Terrance Ferguson each having their own as well.

Jacksonville did finally score in the fourth frame with a long score from Trevor Lawrence to Travis Hunter (another rookie), but when the Jaguars failed to recover their own onside kick with about 8-minutes to go in the game, it was clear that L.A. had control, and it would take a historic occurrence for them to lose this contest.

No historic occurrence in the way of Jacksonville winning came to pass, as the Rams did what they needed to do to go on their second two-game win streak of the season, and take a strong 5-2 record into their Week 8 bye week.

Now, the Rams can celebrate, rest, recover and watch the rest of the NFL games to see what happens around NFC and the NFC West specifically for the rest of today, and next Sunday too, before L.A. gets back to work and readies themselves for their Week 9 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

How did Falcons loss to 49ers help the Rams draft order?

Most Rams fans were rooting for the Atlanta Falcons to beat the 49ers on Sunday night, but instead Mac Jones improved his record to 4-1 and San Francisco stayed in first place. On the bright side, the Falcons dropped to 3-3 and that means that L.A.’s first round pick from Atlanta next year got a little better: Coming close to the midpoint of the season, the Falcons pick is currently situated at 14th overall.

Although the Rams improved their record to 5-2 after destroying the quickly-collapsing Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday morning, they are still in line for a top-20 pick based on how Atlanta has played this season.

Here’s the hard truth facing the Falcons right now: Michael Penix, Jr. does not look like an NFL starter. In his defense, Penix was only making his 9th career NFL start on Sunday night and he was playing a very experienced defensive team in the 49ers.

However, Penix is also 25 already and he’s been starting games above the high school level since 2018. This is his seventh year out of high school and Penix still kind of looks lost and inaccurate. Don’t forget that Penix was a surprising top-10 pick in 2024 and not just because the Falcons had signed Kirk Cousins. Few analysts were predicting Penix as a first round pick after his final college season and almost nobody had him in the top-15 on the eve of the draft. Only when rumors of Atlanta’s interest popped up just before the draft did fans start to picture Michael Penix as a top-10 talent.

Through six games in 2025, Penix does not look like a top-10 talent.

Penix had 241 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions, but it took 38 pass attempts to get there. Through six starts, Penix has just 5 touchdown passes and you have to do more than avoid interceptions to succeed in the NFL. He’s not mobile, he’s not accurate, and he’s not clutch.

What’s more amazing is that Atlanta signed a free agent and drafted a first round in 2024 and yet 18 months later it still looks like the Falcons are searching for a franchise quarterback.

Now why does any of this matter if we’re talking about the Atlanta Falcons and not the Los Angeles Rams?

Because there is still a chance based on how Penix has played — and Raheem Morris not being a proven head coach in any capacity — that the pick that the Falcons send to the Rams in 2026 is going to be top-10, if not top-8. If Penix continues to play this poorly, how long will Morris wait to go to Cousins if he thinks he’s coaching for his job based on Atlanta’s playoff hopes? How long before GM Terry Fontenot wonders what it will take for him to get fired given that he traded a first round pick for edge rusher James Pearce, a player with 0.5 sacks in 6 games.

The Falcons other first round pick, Jalon Walker, has one sack and is injured. Fontenot’s record with the Falcons is 32-42, he’s never had a winning season, had a hand in hiring Morris, drafted Penix, signed Cousins, and traded up for Pearce. How long will Fontenot have a job if the Falcons fall out of the playoff race?

What could cause Morris to “lose the locker room” and lead to an even higher draft pick for the Rams?

This team is just inconsistent. Inconsistent when it matters, inconsistent week-to-week, inconsistent in terms of their strengths and weaknesses. They have the talent to be more than this but they just…can't stop screwing up

— The Falcoholic (@TheFalcoholic) October 20, 2025

The Rams improved their playoff positioning and their draft positioning on the same day on Sunday — the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night — so even though the 49ers stayed in first, it feels like L.A. got a win of a different kind.
