All was well in Los Angeles in the first eight weeks of the season. The Rams were 7-1 and riding a four-game winning streak in which they beat all of their opponents by at least nine points. But in the last two games, the Rams have looked like anything but a Super Bowl contender.
In fact, they’ve looked like a team that might struggle to make the playoffs.
They were blown out by the Titans, 28-16, last week and then on Monday night, the 49ers steamrolled them, 31-10. Their 26 total points are the second-fewest in a two-game stretch under Sean McVay, according to ESPN Stats and Info, and it’s the first time they were held under 20 points in back-to-back losses since 2016.
Warranted or not, panic is beginning to set in among Rams fans after the team fell to 7-3 – a record that’s still plenty impressive and is just one game off the best mark in the NFL. But if the Rams continue to play the way they have the last two weeks, they’ll be in trouble.
The blame for this rapid regression doesn’t fall on one or two individuals, either.
