The St. Louis Rams fell 18-3 on the road to the Oakland Raiders in the 2015 preseason opener.
Preseason games are nothing more than a meaningless spar weeks before the big fight. Even so, fans were surely hoping to see more of a fight from the St. Louis backups. The second- and third-string defense played tough, but the offense was dead in the water—a result all too familiar for the Rams.
Quarterback Nick Foles was sharp in his debut. He hit his receivers for several big plays, but he was pulled from the game after just two drives.
