LOS ANGELES — Lined up on third-and-4 in the slot, Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson was set to line a fade route in the Rams’ game against the San Francisco 49ers last week. Facing man-to-man coverage as expected, he tried to get an outside edge on the slot cornerback and keep the route vertical.

When he turned around, quarterback Matthew Stafford had put the ball up for the 6-foot-5 tight end to go get. The rookie jumped and came down with it, a 21-yard gain and his first career reception.

“Super excited obviously to get out there and be able to make an impact for the team,” Ferguson said. “Super blessed. Always pray about it, work in the dark, think about those type of things, make those type of plays. Just happy to be up there.”
