The St. Louis Rams had an unexpected and disappointing loss last Sunday against the Washington Redskins. The Rams were gashed by the run, giving up 182 yards on the ground. Redskins rookie running back Matt Jones had his breakout game gaining 123 yards on just 19 carries. The Rams were unable to get off their blocks all game and just couldn’t find a way to bring down Jones or Alfred Morris.

The Rams now rank 30th against the run, averaging 153 yards a game against. This is a recipe for disaster and it won’t be getting much easier from here on out.
