Rams

Rams RB C.J. Anderson stepped in for Todd Gurley on Sunday and rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown.

After the game, Anderson said he “never gave up on myself” despite what has been a largely disappointing year.

“I’ve always had the chip. I’ve never stopped playing with the chip,” Anderson said, via the Los Angeles Times. “Every team had a circumstance [for] releasing me. So it’s timing. Opportunity is another [thing]. This actually worked out with perfect timing and I get my opportunity.”
