The Los Angeles Rams lost to the Cincinnati Bengals 16-7 in their 2022 preseason finale and Sean McVay now must trim his roster from 80 to 53 with the Buffalo Bills on deck in less than two weeks.
Bryce Perkins played his fifth full preseason game in the last two years, finishing with a respectable afternoon behind weak play by the offensive line but ultimately not able to help the Rams score enough points. Los Angeles failed to score a point until early in the fourth quarter and the Rams’ defense was eaten alive by Cincinnati’s quarterbacks:
Brandon Allen, a former Rams QB, went 11-of-15 for 130 yards and third-stringer Jake Browning went 19-of-24 for 173 yards and a touchdown.
