The Los Angeles Rams came away with a 24-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday to improve to 5-3 on the season and keep pace in the crowded NFC playoff picture.

The Rams have now won two games in a row after a three-game losing streak and appear to be getting back on track heading into another very winnable contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday.

Here are three things we learned about Los Angeles in its Week 8 victory.

3. Darrell Henderson Has Worked His Way Into the Rotation

Coming into the season, many expect rookie running back Darrell Henderson to get a significant amount of playing time, but instead, he received just one touch over the first five weeks.

Since then, however, Henderson has become a key piece of the Rams' backfield, and with Malcolm Brown struggling and now injured, he may have found himself a permanent place in the rotation for the rest of the season.

Henderson carried the ball a team-high 11 times for 49 yards on Sunday and also logged a couple of catches.

With Los Angeles still limited Todd Gurley's workload and Brown's future somewhat uncertain, expect a whole lot more of Henderson as the season progresses.

2. Cooper Kupp Is Easily the No. 1 Receiver

Last year, Cooper Kupp only played half the season due to a torn ACL.

This year, he has displaced both Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods on the depth chart and has emerged as LA's clear No. 1 receiver.

On Sunday, Kupp tallied seven catches for 220 yards and a touchdown, and on the season overall, he has caught 58 passes for 792 yards and five scores, putting him on pace for an All-Pro-caliber campaign.

The next closest Rams receiver in terms of catches is Woods with 38.

Kupp may be coming off of a very serious injury, but he is clearly Jared Goff's favorite target and has also developed into one of the most reliable wide outs in football.

1. Short and Sweet May Be Best for Todd Gurley

Gurley toted the ball just 10 times against the Bengals, which was his lowest output since Week 4 and his second-lowest of the season overall, but maybe that's for the better?

The three-time Pro Bowler made the most of his touches in Week 8, totaling 44 yards and a touchdown. It marked the first time Gurley averaged four yards per carry in a game since Week 1.

He didn't catch any passes, but he was very useful in setting the tone out of the backfield.

Of course, it was against Cincinnati, which has the worst run defense in the NFL, but given how shoddy Gurley's production had been over the first seven weeks, this could be a step in the right direction.

Perhaps Sean McVay has now uncovered a method in which he can get the most out of his running back, who is obviously not 100 percent.
