Gordon: Benching Foles was a must

Rams quarterback Nick Foles bottomed out in the fourth quarter Sunday, throwing the ball to Chicago Bears linebacker Willie Young instead of one of his clearly marked teammates.

During the ensuing interception return, guard Jamon Brown (broken leg) and tackle Darrell Williams (dislocated wrist) suffered season-ending injuries while trying to stop the runaway train, er, Young.

Now that was a craptastic pass. Not only did it seal an ugly 37-13 loss, it led to the eradication of two offensive linemen and further compromised a suspect unit.

Mercifully that was the last pass Foles will throw for the Rams for a while.
