The Los Angeles Rams president, Kevin DeMoff, did not hold back while taking a jab at former NFL star Ryan Clark. Before the Rams' season opener against the Houston Texans on Sunday, the ESPN analyst predicted DeMeco Ryans' team to secure a 23-17 victory on ESPN's "NFL Live" show. However, the Rams won 14-9.After the game, the team's official media page trolled Clark for his take, and DeMoff had a jab of his own."I guess being an ex-player doesn't help analysts make better picks," Demoff wrote in a tweet he shared on X.The Texans took an early lead in the game thanks to a 51-yard field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn in the first quarter. He scored another field goal in the second quarter before Kyren Williams scored a rushing touchdown to give the Rams a 7-6 lead. Fairbairn's third field goal gave the Texans a 9-7 lead heading into halftime.In the third quarter, LA Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford found Davis Allen with a 13-yard touchdown pass for a 14-9 lead, and they held on to it until the final whistle.Stafford completed 21 of 29 passes for 245 yards. On the other hand, Houston's C.J. Stroud struggled to find momentum, going 19 of 27 for 188 yards with one interception.Rams HC Sean McVay heaps praise on Nate Landman's performanceIn March, the Rams signed linebacker Nate Landman to a one-year deal. He made some decisive defensive plays that allowed Sean McVay's team to hold onto their 14-9 lead.In the postgame news conference, McVay heaped praise on the linebacker's debut with the team."We always talk about practice, performance and preparation equaling game reality," McVay said as per the team's website. "That's what (Landman's) done. He has gotten more punch-outs than anybody. He has just a great feel for it. He's so intentional, and I think it's rubbed off on the rest of the group, and he got it at a critical time. You talk about competitive greatness, that was on display."The Rams next hit the road to take on the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The game will be broadcast on CBS at 1 p.m. ET.
