Rams bounce-back in win over Panthers.

The Rams bounced back from last week's disappointing loss to the Cowboys with a solid win over the Panthers, snapping a two-game losing streak to beat Carolina 24–10, improving their season record to 3–3.

Despite an early 10–7 lead from the Panthers after a pick-6 from Carolina's cornerback Donte Jackson off a deflection, the Rams were able to stay poised and composed throughout the game, scoring 17 unanswered points to give their first win since Week 3. 

The defense was a significant key in Sunday's win over the Panthers, keeping new starting QB P.J. Walker and Carolina's offense from reaching the end zone the entire game, surrendering all 10 points to a pick-6 and a field goal.

After an underperforming outing in Week 5 due to a banged-up O-line, Matthew Stafford had another solid get-the-job-done outing for L.A., completing a season-high 79% (26-for-33) of his passes and throwing for 253 yards with a throwing touchdown and an interception.

Rams all-pro wideout Cooper Kupp finished with a team-high 7 catches on 8 targets for 80 yards (11.4 AVG) in the Rams' win over the Panthers. 

Kupp still leads all pass catchers in the NFL in catches with 56 receptions, is 4th in the NFL with 607 receiving yards, and is tied for 4th in football with four touchdowns caught on the season.

The Rams' defense completely disrupted the Panthers' offense, keeping QB P.J. Walker to just 60 yards passing and sacking him two times while keeping constant pressure in the pocket. 

The Rams' will be on their bye week for Week 7, trying to get healthy on that offensive line in preparation for their Week 8 Sunday matchup at home against the 49ers at 1:25 PM PDT on FOX.
