Quick Answers
What was the final score of Buccaneers vs Rams in Week 12?
The Los Angeles Rams beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34-7 on November 23, 2025, at SoFi Stadium.
Who led all passers?
Matthew Stafford, with 25 of 35 for 273 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 122.7 rating.
How many yards did Puka Nacua have?
Seven catches for 97 yards on 11 targets, the most receiving yards in the game.
How did Davante Adams perform?
Five receptions for 62 yards and two touchdowns.
How many total yards did Tampa Bay gain?
193, including 70 net passing yards and 123 rushing yards.
Why did Baker Mayfield leave the game?
A left shoulder injury suffered late in the first half. An MRI the next day showed a low-grade AC joint sprain in his non-throwing shoulder with no structural damage.
The Takeaway
The figures told a one-sided story. Los Angeles outgained Tampa Bay 333 to 193, won the turnover battle 2-0, and built a 31-7 halftime lead before Stafford had to do much in the second half. Stafford ran his streak to eight straight games without an interception, Davante Adams pushed his NFL lead to 12 touchdown catches, and the Rams climbed to 9-2 and the top of the NFC. Tampa Bay fell to 6-5 and lost Mayfield to a shoulder injury that an MRI later graded as minor. The Rams needed barely 30 minutes to settle it, and the box score never gave Tampa Bay a way back in.
