In Tinseltown, Los Angeles, on November 23, 2025, the Rams served a foamy palm wine of a win against the struggling Buccaneers, ending the game at a whopping 34-7. Matthew Stafford was the star, collecting three touchdowns and showing no signs of slowing down.
Sadly for Tampa Bay, Baker Mayfield‘s left shoulder joined the list of losses, as he exited the game and left the couches of Florida pondering their playoff hopes.
Stafford was on fire. He threw deep passes like a seasoned consumer tossing out empty palm wine bottles after a good night. His 30 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions this season? Talk about a ratio smoother than a well-aged wine!
In fact, for the past eight games, Stafford had tossed 25 touchdowns without a single interception (naaaa, this one be like dream!). This performance left even Tom Brady shaking his head in disbelief.
Tampa’s defense? Let’s just say they might as well have been serving popcorn instead of actually playing defense. With Mayfield gone, backup Teddy Bridgewater took a turn at the helm and, well, let’s just say not even a sprinkle of palm oil could liven up the offense.
Meanwhile, the Rams did their own jig, scoring without breaking a sweat. Players like Colby Parkinson and Davante Adams sank in the yardage while the Buccaneers’ coach Todd Bowles wondered what went wrong (we dey feel your pain, bro).
The Rams, now 9-2, chilling at the top of the NFC, have made it clear: skipping past them in the playoffs is like trying to dodge the sun in Naija – e no go happen. The Buccaneers? They sit at 6-5, sweating bullets as the Panthers eye their chance to snatch the NFC South crown away.
As both North and South teams prepare for the upcoming games, let’s just say football fans are fully entertained. With the Rams riding high and the Bucs needing a miracle for Christmas, this season is shaping up to be as spicy as jollof rice at a Naija party!
