Thirteen total touchdowns. Football’s two best teams who scored a combined 105 points. Seven lead changes - six of them in the fourth quarter.
One incredible game.
The Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs played the third highest-scoring game in NFL history - and the highest-ever scoring Monday night game at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The Rams defeated the Chiefs 54-51, but football was a winner Monday night as fans across America saluted the two teams for their epic offensive performances.
Jared Goff connected with wide receiver Gerald Everett for a 40-yard touchdown reception with just under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Rams the lead for good.

The Chiefs and their young star quarterback Patrick Mahomes had one final chance to get into field goal range and prolong the game, but he threw an interception to Rams defensive back Lamarcus Joyner.
The Rams improved to 10-1, the best record in the league, while the Chiefs fell to 9-2.
Goff passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns Monday, and linebacker Samson Ebukam scored touchdowns off a fumble return and interception.
The shootout, moved from its originally scheduled site to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum because of poor field condition in Mexico City, lived up to its billing.
It was the first game in NFL history in which both teams scored 50-plus points, and it was the highest-scoring Monday night game in league history.
Former Chief Marcus Peters seemingly preserved the victory by grabbing an interception on a pass by Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Ebukam effected with the errant throw by pressuring Mahomes.
That gave the Rams the ball with 1:18 left after they converted three earlier turnovers into 21 points.
However, Los Angeles then inexplicably threw three passes, one of which was incomplete, allowing Kansas City to preserve a timeout.
Mahomes completed 33 of 46 passes for a career-high 478 yards and six touchdowns, but he turned the ball over five times. He is seen left being tripped up by Ethan Westbrooks of the Rams (right) during the second half
Wide receiver Tyreek Hill made 10 receptions for 215 yards and two scores for the Chiefs
Tight end Travis Kelce had 10 catches for 127 yards and a score. He is seen above scoring a touchdown against the Rams during the second half

The Chiefs got the ball back with 50 seconds left, but Mahomes threw his third interception, caught by Joyner.
Mahomes completed 33 of 46 passes for a career-high 478 yards and six touchdowns, but he turned the ball over five times.
Wide receiver Tyreek Hill made 10 receptions for 215 yards and two scores, and tight end Travis Kelce had 10 catches for 127 yards and a score.
The Chiefs also scored a defensive touchdown on a 2-yard fumble return from Allen Bailey following a strip-sack by Justin Houston.
The play gave Kansas City a 44-40 lead with 11:07 remaining.
Nonetheless, the Rams capitalized on the makeshift home game, prevailing on an emotional night when they observed recent tragedies from wildfires and a mass shooting.
Goff was seen before the game wearing a Los Angeles Fire Department hat. Both teams honored firefighters and law enforcement officers for their roles in combating the devastating wildfires that have ravaged parts of Northern and Southern California

Los Angeles went in front 47-44 on a Goff 7-yard scoring strike to Gerald Everett with 9:38 left.
Mahomes put Kansas City back on top thanks to a 10-yard touchdown pass to Chris Conley with 2:50 to go.
Without any timeouts, Goff connected on a 40-yard pass to Everett with 1:49 remaining for the go-ahead score, which Los Angeles maintained with the two late interceptions.
Los Angeles receiver Brandin Cooks finished with eight catches for 107 yards.
Goff passed for touchdowns on each of the Rams' first two series, connecting for 7 and 4 yards to Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds while picking on Chiefs cornerback Orlando Scandrick both times.
Goff went 10 of 13 on those drives while also capitalizing on five Kansas City penalties, staking Los Angeles to a 13-0 lead.

After going three-and-out on their first series, with two penalties, the Chiefs rallied for three straight scores, including TD passes of 25 and 21 yards from Mahomes to Hill and Hunt, respectively.
The second touchdown provided a 17-16 edge and came in one play following a sack, strip and recovery by Bailey.
Rams standout Aaron Donald returned the favor with a sack-strip of Mahomes.
Ebukam recovered the fumble and scored on an 11-yard return with 1:50 remaining in the half.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
