Even though the Los Angeles Rams were resting a majority of their starters during Saturday’s first preseason game against the Oakland Raiders, there was still hope for plenty of excitement on the offensive side of the football.
Over the last few years, Sean McVay has received plenty of high praise for helping the Rams emerge as one of the top offenses in the league, but painful doesn’t even begin to describe how the unit looked during the team’s 14-3 loss to the Raiders.
Sure, the outcome clearly would have been much different if this was actually a meaningful game with the starters seeing significant action, but Rams fans still expected to see more than just three points from the backups.
