The Los Angeles Rams' disastrous season took another turn for the worse Saturday when the team placed Matthew Stafford on injured reserve, effectively ending the veteran quarterback's season.
A year after winning the Super Bowl, the Rams have struggled to replicate their success, battling a number of injuries to key players. Beyond Stafford, the team has also placed All-Pro receiver Cooper Kupp, left tackle Joesph Noteboom and safety Jordan Fuller on injured reserve. Additionally, superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald is battling an ankle injury and has already been ruled out for Sunday's divisional game against Seattle.
With a 3-8 record, the Rams are off to the worst start of any defending Super Bowl champion and figure to struggle to win many more games this year.
