The Los Angeles Rams are one of the worst second half offenses in the NFL through five weeks, perhaps saved only by the Dallas Cowboys having one of the weakest efforts of the season on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers. But if the Rams don’t figure out what’s not working after halftime, if Sean McVay is using up his entire bag of tricks in the first half and then getting “adjusted” by the opposing coach each week, L.A. will find out that there is somewhere to go but up.
This level of second half offensive production won’t work in a league that is designed to reward endurance, sustainability, and the team that shows up in the fourth quarter.
