5. Goff throws five touchdown passes

Finally, the Los Angeles Rams were able to put an end to their three-game losing streak in Week 7 with a win over the Atlanta Falcons, and if all goes well in London, a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals should be even easier.

Plenty of factors came into play for the Rams in this one, but how great was it to see Jared Goff finally put together his best performance of 2019?

After signing a hefty extension back at the beginning of September, Goff knew the pressure would be on for this season, and the argument can be made the former No. 1 pick hasn’t exactly lived up to the contract for the most part.

Despite all of the progress made over the previous two seasons, Goff still has a ton to prove before he can officially move into the conversation of being a top quarterback in the league.

But on a positive note, at least Goff’s three-touchdown performance (one rushing) during the win over the Falcons will hopefully be the kind of confidence boost the Rams quarterback needs moving forward.

With the way the Bengals have looked over their first seven games, Goff shouldn’t have a problem at all putting together a monster performance to give fans in London quite a show.
