FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- There was no press release, no statement from the owner, not even a mention on the team's social media accounts.
Only a confirmation.
Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher is indeed signed through the 2018 season, a development his own organization does not seem overly enthused to get behind. News leaked Sunday morning, hours before the Rams were beaten handily by a New England Patriots team that is generations ahead of them in this sport. Fisher later confirmed his extension and said he signed it "well before" even the first preseason game, which took place 114 days ago.
