Beckham Jr. reached up to make a two-handed grab in the end zone, then went high for a celebration with teammate Cooper Kupp before dropping to the ground.
Sean McVay said he didn't know what he was doing. "I thought he was doing some abdominal exercises."
Beckham's 1-yard touchdown reception in a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars was his second in as many games, giving the eighth-year receiver his first scores in back-to-back games since the 2019.
Is there more crunches? Not necessary.
Beckham's career has been resuscitated since the Rams signed him to a one-year, $1.25 million free-agent deal last month.
Beckham said it was from Call of Duty. It's always good to have a self-esteem.
If the Rams can revive an offense that went through significant regression in November, they will be able to overcome the loss of Robert Woods and DeSean Jackson.
"You don't have that many left when you get into the season," Stafford said. You have to go out there and make them count.
The Rams play the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football. The game means a lot in terms of the playoffs and seedings.
The Rams will get a chance to prove that their star-powered roster is capable of big wins when they face Kyler Murray and the NFC conference leaders in the second game of the season. The Rams are 0-6 against teams with winning records and 6-0 against everyone else.
McVay acknowledged that this offers a great opportunity to measure ourselves.

During their 7-1 start, the Rams averaged a league-high 6.53 yards per play with Stafford throwing for 22 touchdown and four interceptions.
The Rams' interior line got pushed around and Stafford committed six turnovers, including three picks that were returned for touchdown. His QBR was 35.1 over the past four games after he had a league-best 78.7 total quarterback rating in his first eight games.
The Rams ended their three-game skid this past Sunday with a 37-7 win over the 2-10) Jacksonville on the legs of running back Sony Michel, who rushed for a season-high 121 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries in a run-heavy game plan that was once expected to be

Hopefully. "We all wish we could get more opportunities in our profession," saidMichel. My mindset is to keep doing what I've been doing.

With Darrell Henderson Jr's health uncertain, and with a reworked receiving corps, there will likely be a continued reliance on Stafford, while he gains more comfort with them. He was placed on the reserve/COVID list because of a thigh injury.
The play-action rate for the Rams has dropped from 32% the past four seasons to 23% with Stafford, as they have moved away from what had been their bread-and-butter.
McVay has set Stafford with a lot of passing options out of an empty formation 21% of the time, up from the previous four seasons.
"We're just trying to do what we feel like we're best at," said Stafford, when asked if a conscious decision was made to move away from play-action and rely more on his arm.
The Rams opened the season with a receiving corps that included Kupp, Woods, Jackson, Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell.
Jackson was released after Atwell and Woods were placed on injured reserve.
"You've got a lot of moving pieces," said Kupp, who has become the focus of defensive schemes that have emphasized limiting his productivity. Every single play is about being intentional about doing your job to the best of your ability, good, bad or ugly, and moving on to the next one and doing it again.
Beckham's skill sets made it impossible for the Rams to replace Woods with him because of his left knee injury.
Kevin O'Connell said that they would be getting home a lot earlier at night if it was simple.
In the past two games, Jefferson has caught nine passes on 17 targets for 134 yards and two scores, including a 79-yard touchdown reception in the loss to the Packers.
Stafford said that Jefferson was doing well. Van has a lot of talent. He has the right work ethic.

Beckham has been forced to learn the offense at warp speed.
Beckham, who has caught nine passes for 127 yards and two touchdown in three games, said that it's easier to simplify it right now. You want to know what everyone is doing, that way you can do your job better.
The passing game remains a work in progress according to Stafford.
He said it was about details and execution from everyone involved. The more detailed we can get and the better execution that we have as a unit, the more successful we'll be.
McVay wants to be able to give an answer when asked what the offense's identity could be.
"We want to show the identity that we want to show, and hopefully when I'm talking to you guys after the game, we're saying that," McVay said. It will lead to a good result for us.
Revival mode is engaged.
