THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams fly to Detroit on Friday to face the Lions at Ford Field early Sunday afternoon. They'll then head directly to London later that night for a matchup the following Sunday against the New York Giants at Twickenham Stadium. And then they'll have their bye week.
This could be a big two-game stretch for Case Keenum.
The Rams won't say so publicly, of course, but their schedule seems to offer an unofficial demarcation line. It could be seen as a natural time for a big-picture assessment of their quarterback situation, specifically whether Keenum should continue to be the guy, or whether it is finally time to pass the ball to Jared Goff, the first overall pick in the 2016 draft.
