Rams takeaways: Young players' ascent helps bring NFC playoff spot, except for kicker
Briefly

OK, the Rams' performance in this particular game is not exactly going to engender optimism that coach Sean McVay's team can defeat any of the top teams in the NFC. Two interceptions. A lost fumble. Two missed extra-point attempts and giving up a punt return for a touchdown is not a formula for success. But there is something to be said for winning, regardless of how many mistakes a team makes against a bumbling opponent. The victory was the Rams' sixth in seven games, an impressive run since losing to the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 5. The Rams surpassed most expectations and will have a chance to make another Super Bowl run.
Nacua caught a short pass near the sideline in front of the Giants bench, spun from the grasp of cornerback Adoree' Jackson, and then raced 80 yards before he finally was brought down at the two-yard line. The play set up Kyren Williams' second short touchdown run. Nacua caught five passes for 118 yards, the seventh time he eclipsed 100 yards receiving this season. He needs four catches and 29 yards receiving in the finale against the 49ers to break NFL rookie records.
