Los Angeles Rams rookies had a great day in London in Week 7.
After Rams seventh-round receiver Konata Mumpfiled caught his first career touchdown in the first quarter, second-round rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson caught his first career touchdown reception. Ferguson hauled in a beautiful 31-yard strike from Matthew Stafford on fourth-and-1 to give L.A. a 28-0 lead over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Check it out:
This, like Mumpfield, was only Ferguson’s second career reception. The tight end caught a 21-yarder against the San Francisco 49ers a few weeks ago.
Ferguson hadn’t see much action ahead of Week 7, but the absence of Puka Nacua opened up a lot of targets for the rest of the team.
This is what the Rams envision for Ferguson down the line. While the rest of the teams’ tight ends were seeing targets all over the field, Sean McVay utilized Ferguson as a big downfield target.
