L.A. Rams: Sloman 29.Cardinals 24, 49ers 20
DeAndre Hopkins had a ca-
reer-high 14 catches for 151 yards
in his Arizona debut and set up
Kenyan Drake’s one-yard touch-
down run with 5:03 to play in a
win over San Francisco.
Kyler Murray threw for
230 yards and a touchdown and
ran for 90 yards and another
score to help the Cardinals over-
come a pair of fourth-quarter def-
icits to beat the defending NFC
champion 49ers.
Jerick McKinnon caught a five-
yard touchdown pass from Jim-
my Garoppolo in his first game in
more than two years to give San
Francisco a 20-17 lead with 8:38 to
play before Murray led a late
comeback. His 33-yard pass to
Hopkins got the ball down to the
1, and then Drake ran it in on the
next play to give Arizona the lead.
Garoppolo led the 49ers down
to the 16 before throwing an in-
complete pass to Trent Taylor on
fourth and five that ended the
comeback attempt. Garoppolo
finished 19 for 33 for 259 yards
and two scores, also connecting
on a 76-yarder to Raheem Mostert
in the first quarter.

MISSED FIELD GOALS
New England: Folk 45.around on bicycles to answer
questions and politely remind
fans to keep the rules in mind. The
usual thump of tailgate music was
less present, and public address
announcements reminding fans
of coronavirus policies were audi-
ble.
Still, there was football mirth to
be found. Scott Etchison, 44,
brought his 13-year-old son, JJ,
from Indianapolis to watch the
Colts in person. “Feels great, actu-
ally,” Etchison exhaled. A few re-
cent college graduates from the
nearby University of North Flori-
da drank White Claws, held up a
souvenir gnome and whooped,
“Go Jags.” They said they had no
concerns about safety; they
planned to abide by the stadium
mask protocol for the entire game.
“They’re doing a grand job of
social distancing,” Savannah Cot-
ton, 24, said as she looked around
the lot.
“It’s going to be amazing, hon-
estly,” said Ryan Hall, 18, “even
though there’s less fans. It’s going
to bring a lot of people together,
knowing not everyone can be here
today — the world is a tough place
— but we have this to show we’re
all together.”
Inside the stadium as the game
kicked off, it looked more like the
end of a long afternoon than the
beginning — a smattering of die-
hard fans stretched across the
huge expanse of the stadium in
small clusters. Fans were in the
luxury cabanas above one end
zone, and cheerleaders danced and
waved. But the swimming pools
that used to draw noise and revelry
were empty, and zip ties cordoned
off forbidden rows of seats.
When Jaguars defensive back
C.J. Henderson made an intercep-
tion in his first NFL game, he
sprinted toward fans in the corner
of the stadium, and they cheered
for him without coming too close
together.
“We had some critical situa-
tions where the fans really came
through,” Jacksonville quarter-
back Gardner Minshew II said af-
ter the Jaguars’ upset victory. “I
really appreciate the fans coming
out, and I hope they continue to do
so safely. They really help.”

Adelson reported from Jacksonville,
Fla.No one was more grateful than
Tyrone Harris. The onetime Olym-
pic hopeful in the long jump sells
game day beads outside the sta-
dium — $3 for one and $5 for two
— and he needs the money. Even a
partial crowd for the Jaguars’
opener with the Indianapolis
Colts was fine with Harris.
“We didn’t know if they’d allow
fans at all,” Harris, 41, said as he
walked through Lot J before the
game. “Just the limited amount is
a big help. It gives you some hope
for something.”
Upon entering the parking area
outside the stadium, drivers were
greeted by a sign that said, “By
entering the stadium and stadium
grounds, you voluntarily assume
all risks related to exposure to
COVID-19,” a reference to the dis-
ease caused by the coronavirus.
Another sign said, “Two yards can
change the game” — a wordplay on
the six feet recommended for so-
cial distancing.
Even the vehicles were socially
distanced: Orange cones were
placed in every other parking spot
to prevent excessive gathering.
Stadium security workers rodeonto the field and stretched to
near total silence — with no public
address announcer revving up
fans, no video board montages,
only faint music pumping. They
could have been high-schoolers
preparing for a Saturday morning
preseason scrimmage.
The coin toss, typically a plat-
form for honorary captains and a
platoon of actual captains,
morphed into a meeting of three
men: the referee and one member
of each team. After the Ravens
won the toss, Baltimore punter
Sam Koch and Cleveland long
snapper Charley Hughlett
bumped elbows and trotted to
their respective sidelines.
A troupe of 12 drummers —
wearing masks, spaced apart —
lined up above the lower bowl
behind the Browns’ bench. The
Ravens’ mascot, Poe, watched the
game from his nest above Section
144, wearing a giant white mask
and occasionally waving the
Maryland state flag.
Among home teams Sunday,
only the Jacksonville Jaguars al-
lowed fans, filling TIAA Bank Sta-
dium to 25 percent of its capacity.Small, ubiquitous black dots
outside the stadium read, “Please
stay 6 FT apart.” A sign outside the
entrance for media members in-
structed that only one person was
allowed in the lobby at a time.
Players entered through a sepa-
rate door, not without first show-
ing a green check mark on their
phones, earned through answer-
ing a questionnaire saying they
felt no symptoms, and getting
their temperatures checked.
Tarps emblazoned with adver-
tisements ringed the lowest por-
tion of the stadium and covered
the first seven rows of seats. A
handful of television reporters set
up in the lower bowl behind the
tarps. More than 3,000 cardboard
cutouts of people, purchased by
fans with proceeds donated to lo-
cal coronavirus relief efforts, dot-
ted M&T Bank Stadium’s lower
bowl. Section 146 was filled with
575 cutouts of Mo Gaba, the
1 4-year-old Baltimore superfan
who died of cancer in late July.
In pregame warmups, star play-
ers typically emerge to roars from
observant, eager fans. On Sunday,
a procession of Ravens trottedchange in our community.”
The cascading oddities of play-
ing NFL games amid the pandem-
ic defined Sunday. The scene
played out in NFL locales across
the country. FedEx Field looked
post-apocalyptic Sunday morning
before the Washington Football
Team beat the Philadelphia Ea-
gles. The parking lot, which had
been thinning for years, was al-
most completely empty, the die-
hards finally forced away. The
stands were bare except for a few
yellow-shirted ushers, and the
only normal part was the field,
where players, coaches and offi-
cials mingled and stretched and
footballs flew against a backdrop
of empty seats.
In Baltimore, a sports bar near
the stadium that is typically rau-
cous with fans spilling out of the
doors sat sullen. Parking lots were
half-full of cars with no people
around them — no sea of purple
and black jerseys, no smoking bar-
becues, no red Solo cups, no radios
turned to pregame shows, no
semi-circled camping chairs, no
platters of chicken wings, no hum
of anticipation.after his team’s victory over the
Miami Dolphins whether he could
compare playing in an empty sta-
dium to any previous experience
of his decorated football life.
“Practice,” Belichick said.
Even as Tom Brady debuted as
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quar-
terback after two decades in New
England and Lamar Jackson re-
vived his MVP performance in the
Ravens’ 38-6 demolition of the
Browns, across the NFL the big-
gest story line had little to do with
what happened on the field, even
aside from coronavirus-related
measures.
In the wake of the police shoot-
ing of Jacob Blake, which followed
the deaths this year of George
Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the
hands of police, the NFL expected
— and offered advance support for
— player protests during the na-
tional anthem. The NBA’s three-
day hiatus in reaction to Blake’s
shooting amplified attention on
what NFL players would do.
Demonstrations varied from
team to team and even within
sidelines. Some teams remained
in their locker rooms. Others
locked arms while standing. Indi-
anapolis Coach Frank Reich knelt,
a notable act for a head coach.
“We thought it was a unique
way to express what needs to be
done, where someone like myself,
a White leader, would kneel, not
out of defiance but out of humili-
ty,” Reich said in a postgame Zoom
news conference. “We can’t leave
things the way they are. It takes all
of us, everybody, but certainly
White leaders really have an op-
portunity to step up and make a
big change as far as systemic rac-
ism is concerned.”
On the Ravens’ sideline, a hand-
ful of players sat on the bench,
many — including Jackson, the
MVP — knelt, and some stood.
Owner Steve Bisciotti said in a
statement the players were pro-
testing injustices, not the military
or the flag, a clarification that
players have been making for
years.
“A lot of players on this team are
really passionate about our com-
munity,” Ravens defensive line-
man Calais Campbell said. “Steve
Bisciotti put out a statement, and
it’s very clear. We aren’t protesting
the flag. We’re trying to effect

wpost.com/recipesS0315 1x4BY GREG BEACHAMMalcolm Brown rushed for a
career-high 79 yards and two
touchdowns, Jared Goff passed
for 275 yards, and the Los Ange-
les Rams opened SoFi Stadium
with a 20-17 victory over the
Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.
Robert Woods had six catches
for 105 yards to help the Rams
improve to 4-0 in season openers
under Coach Sean McVay and
spoiled the debut of Mike McCar-
thy, Dallas’ first new head coach
in a decade.
Ezekiel Elliott rushed for
96 yards and a touchdown and
caught another scoring pass, but
the Cowboys began a season of
high expectations by losing three
starters to injury in the first half
and then failing to mount a late
comeback in a scoreless fourth
quarter for both teams.
Dak Prescott passed for
266 yards and a touchdown, but
Dallas managed three points on
its six drives in the second half.
Michael Gallup made a long
catch that would have put Dallas
in field goal range with 21 sec-
onds left, but he was called for
offensive pass interference for
contact with Jalen Ramsey.
The opening of Rams owner
Stan Kroenke’s $5 billion sta-
dium project was a historic night
for the Los Angeles area, albeit
one that should have been much
more festive. The novel coronavi-
rus pandemic prevented Rams
fans from christening the pala-
tial stadium, which is scheduled
to host next season’s Super Bowl,
the 2023 college football champi-
onship game and the 2028 Los
Angeles Olympics.
The Rams got the ball first in
their new home, and Goff hit
Woods with a short pass that
turned into a 20-yard gain on the
building’s first play from scrim-
mage. The 75-yard opening drive
ended with Brown’s one-yard
plunge for the stadium’s first
touchdown.
Elliott tied it early in the
second quarter with a 19-yard
touchdown catch during which
he ran through most of the Los
Angeles defense.
Three Rams drives stalled for
field goal attempts, and Elliott
put the Cowboys ahead at half-
time with a one-yard touchdown
run.
Brown also scored on the
Rams’ opening drive of the sec-
ond half. They never scored
again, but it was enough.
McCarthy curiously went for it
on fourth and three from the Los
Angeles 11 with about 12 minutes
to play, but Rams safety Jordan
Fuller made a superb tackle on
fellow rookie CeeDee Lamb be-
fore the marker.
Lamb had five catches for
59 yards.
Rams rookie wide receiver Van
Jefferson’s first career reception
was a beautiful 31-yard grab in
the second quarter, but it was his
only reception.
Cam Akers rushed for 39 yards
on 14 carries in the Rams’ sec-
ond-round pick’s NFL debut.
The Cowboys lost starting
linebacker Leighton Vander Esch
to a collarbone injury in the first
quarter. Right tackle Cam Erving
and tight end Blake Jarwin both
didn’t return from knee injuries
in the second quarter.
Rams tight end Gerald Everett
injured his back in the second
half.
