"I think probably better," McVay said. "But you guys know I was always a fan of him, and I think he's played really well. And you've got to think about too what he's done to come in here and be able to play around a lot of guys too that haven't been here, and to be able to lead the charge today. Just an incredible effort. ... He has been outstanding."
On Sunday afternoon, Mayfield led the Rams to a 51-14 victory over the Denver Broncos during a game in which Los Angeles didn't punt. The Rams scored on all but the last of their nine drives, when they took over on downs with six seconds left in the contest and took a knee. It was the second time under McVay that the Rams didn't punt in a game.
Mayfield was dominant on Sunday, completing 24 of 28 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns. His completion rate of 85.7% was the second highest in a game in his career. Mayfield also set the Rams' single-game completion percentage record, passing Kurt Warner (2000) and Case Keenum (2016).
"Coming off the Monday night game and not really playing well on offense, and obviously, I was frustrated with how I played," Mayfield said. "And for us to play a complete game like that, that speaks volumes."
Mayfield heavily relied on his tight ends against the Broncos, including Tyler Higbee, who had nine catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns. Mayfield has thrown 39 touchdown passes to tight ends since entering the NFL, which is tied for the second most in that span.
"The guy's a competitor," Higbee said. "He's a good quarterback. He belongs in this league, and he proved that today."
The 51 points by the Rams were the most they scored since beating the Kansas City Chiefs 54-51 on Monday Night Football in 2018. The Rams' previous season-high scoring total was 31 points, which came in a Week 2 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Los Angeles entered the day with the second-worst scoring average in the NFL at 16.4 points per game.
According to Elias Sports Bureau research, the Rams are only the fourth team since 1950 to score 50 points after entering that game averaging under 17 points (minimum of 10 games played prior to scoring 50).
The victory over the Broncos was the Rams' third game scoring at least 50 points since McVay was hired as head coach in 2017. That is tied for the most such instances in that span.
"He's been great," McVay said of Mayfield. "And I just think he sees the field really well. ... For such a fiery competitor, he's got a nice, even-keel demeanor in between series. He sees things really well. He is able to have great communication, and today, things were really fluid and smooth. And to not have to punt at all against an outfit like that was a big-time accomplishment for Baker and the offense."

Broncos get blown out by Rams; Russell Wilson throws 3 INTs
INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams (5-10) nabbed one of their easiest wins of the season on Christmas Day, as Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos (4-11) suffered an embarrassing 51-14 loss on the road.
Wilson was sacked six times and threw three interceptions in the game, finding the end zone just once on a fourth-quarter touchdown throw to tight end Greg Dulcich.
Rams running back Cam Akers scored three touchdowns to highlight a breakout day from him and the rest of L.A.'s offense.
It took 15 games in a lost season, but the Broncos finally felt the roof cave in during a Christmas Day disaster. Nathaniel Hackett and his staff had everything going wrong at the worst time.An embattled Hackett saw his team put in the kind of effort that will significantly impact whatever the discussion is about his future. The effort was so lacking in planning and execution that it likely shattered any momentum Hackett had cobbled together in recent weeks. The Broncos committed silly penalties -- led by Randy Gregory's inexplicable personal foul in the fourth quarter -- and tempers flared on the sideline.
Describe the game in two words: Go figure. Plenty of things happened after the game's first play, but it took the Broncos only one play to show they still have not learned patience on offense.
Things go better when they take easy completions, move the ball and finish drives. Yet, the first play Sunday was Wilson heaving it up the sideline to a well-covered Courtland Sutton. A 1-yard run and incompletion later saw the Broncos punting for the first time -- a preview of how the rest of the day would go.
Biggest hole in the game plan: The Broncos' injuries are not an excuse, but they can't be ignored. Since Justin Simmons went on injured reserve in Week 2, the Broncos have had 21 different players go on injured reserve.
The offensive line has been compromised more than most positions, yet Hackett and the team's offensive coaches continue to call plays for the team they wish were on the field instead of the one that actually is on the field. They had a bevy of three-wide sets Sunday that the Rams' defensive front gladly powered through at times. The Broncos have been at their best in two-tight-end sets, but a national audience didn't get to see them show it.
QB breakdown: Wilson has some honest reflection to do in the offseason, and his ability to bounce back from a difficult year will hinge on his willingness to do it. His two interceptions on his first three pass attempts were each what-were-you-thinking throws that resulted in turnovers deep in Broncos territory. The Broncos never recovered from momentum-crushing plays like his third interception of the game. -- Jeff Legwold
Los Angeles Rams
In what was a well-rounded performance for the Rams' offense, tight end Tyler Higbee had by far his best game of the season, with nine catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns. Higbee, who also caught a touchdown on Monday in Green Bay, had not scored in Los Angeles' first 13 games of the season. Higbee's three touchdowns in two games came with Baker Mayfield at quarterback. Mayfield has thrown 39 touchdowns to tight ends since entering the NFL and is tied for second among quarterbacks in that span, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
QB breakdown: Mayfield had the best game of his short Rams career, completing 24 of 28 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns. He didn't throw an interception. He led a Rams offense that scored on all but one offensive possession and tallied a season-high 51 points. Mayfield's 85.7% completion rate was the second-highest mark in a game in his career.
Promising trend: This is the Cam Akers the Rams were hoping for when he came back from his Achilles injury. After spending nearly a month away from the team while Los Angeles tried to find him a new home, Akers has finished the end of the season strong, with five touchdowns in his past four games. Akers had 147 total yards on Sunday against the Broncos: 118 rushing yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns, and two catches for 29 yards. Akers finishes December with six rushing touchdowns, the most in the NFL this month. He had three rushing touchdowns in his first 23 career games combined.
Promising trend II: Complementary football. The Rams scored two touchdowns off takeaways in the first quarter. Entering the game, they'd done that only once this season. Although the offense had several short fields, it still did it against an excellent Broncos defense that entered the game allowing an average of 18.1 points per game, the third fewest in the league. The Rams scored 17 points in the first quarter. According to ESPN Stats & Information, this was the first time the Broncos have allowed more than seven points in the first quarter this season and only the fourth time the Broncos have allowed points on a team's opening drive. -- Sarah Barshop

Los eliminados Rams dan paliza a Broncos
El domingo por la tarde, el mariscal Baker Mayfield llevó a los Rams a una victoria por 51-14 sobre los Broncos de Denver en el SoFi Stadium de Inglewood. Los Rams anotaron en todos sus nueve drives menos el último, cuando se hicieron con el balón en el suelo a falta de seis segundos para el final de la contienda y se arrodillaron. Fue la segunda vez bajo el mando del entrenador en jefe Sean McVay que los Rams no hicieron punt en un partido. Los Rams fueron eliminados de la lucha por los playoffs hace una semana.
Como lo hizo en su debut contra los Raiders de Las Vegas, Mayfield ayudó a llevar a los Rams a la victoria.
“Creo que jugó muy rápido. Me pareció que vio el campo de manera sobresaliente”, dijo McVay.
Al final del juego, el linebacker de los Broncos Randy Gregory y el liniero ofensivo de los Rams Oday Aboushi no parecían tener el espíritu navideño: ambos equipos se reunieron para darse la mano después del partido, Aboushi parecía estar hablando con Gregory mientras caminaban hacia el ala cerrada de los Broncos Eric Tomlinson. No quedó claro qué se dijo, pero fue lo suficientemente contundente como para que Gregory golpeara a Aboushi en el casco. Aboushi devolvió el golpe y ambos jugadores tuvieron que ser retenidos para que el incidente no fuera más grande.
Los Chargers podrían clasificar este lunes
Los Chargers (8-6) pueden asegurar un lugar en los playoffs con una victoria el lunes (5 p.m., ESPN, ESPN Deportes) en Lucas Oil Stadium de Indianápolis ante los Colts (4-9-1). La posibilidad se presentó después de que Nueva Inglaterra y Las Vegas perdieron el sábado. Los Patriots cayeron en casa ante Cincinnati 22-18 y los Raiders cayeron en Pittsburgh 13-10.
