SEATTLE -- Tavon Austin learned something about Los Angeles this season.
"It’s very tough here," the Rams' receiver said. "Your rope is very short. I can say that. Your rope is very short. But that’s how I like it, though. L.A. needs to be winners. And that’s where it starts. Us knowing the pressure is on, we have to pick up our stuff."
Rams players, experiencing their first season in the nation's second-largest media market, learned that lesson on Monday, when longtime coach Jeff Fisher was fired in the wake of mounting losses and escalating pressure.
