Nate Landman shined in his Rams debut, ripping away the Texans’ late drive with a crucial forced fumble on Dare Ogunbowale that preserved a 14-9 win for Los Angeles. The moment instantly catapulted Landman into Rams lore and a meme-fueled fan splash, signaling a fast start for a defender who could earn bigger opportunites as the season unfolds.

Braden Fiske joined the play by recovering the fumble, capping a game-defining sequence that highlighted Los Angeles’ knack for impactful defensive stops. For fantasy managers, Landman’s Week 1 surge could translate into steady IDP value if his snap share holds, while Ogunbowale’s fumble scene and the Rams’ depth at linebacker offer angles to monitor in upcoming matchups.
