FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- News leaked Sunday morning that Jeff Fisher has an extension in place to return as the Los Angeles Rams' head coach next season -- and then his team showed how far it remains from becoming a legitimate contender.
For the second straight week, Fisher's Rams were blown out on the road. Seven days after giving up 49 points to the New Orleans Saints, they were thoroughly outplayed while suffering a 26-10 loss to the New England Patriots from Gillette Stadium. The Rams have now dropped seven of their last eight games, putting them at 4-8 despite winning three of four to start this season.
