THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Perhaps the Los Angeles Rams should simply treat every offensive possession as if it were their first.
They've been very good at putting up points to start games, but very bad thereafter. It's been the case pretty much all season. The Rams have scored on their first offensive drive in seven of their 11 games, with four of those scores -- including the one on Sunday, a 49-21 loss to the New Orleans Saints -- being touchdowns.
They're averaging 3.36 points per game on their opening offensive drive, sixth-highest in the NFL, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
