The Los Angeles Rams haven’t won since Week 6 against the lowly Carolina Panthers. Sunday tallied their seventh loss on the season and essentially guarantees this iteration of Sean McVay’s Rams won’t sniff the playoffs. The New Orleans Saints were a team experiencing similar troubles with injury and resulting losses but it didn’t matter as they cruised to a win in the second half.
Here’s a breakdown of my observations from the game.
• As always, I assess QB first and Matthew Stafford played well despite constant pressure until he was inevitably removed from the game to likely return to concussion protocol.
