What’s Next For LA Rams After Week 12?
The LA Rams dropped their fifth straight contest in a week 12 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. The loss drops them to 3-8 and gives them the longest losing streak of the McVay era. 3-8 puts them dead last in the NFC West, a division they won a year ago en route to a Super Bowl victory.
With eight losses on the campaign, how should the LA Rams handle the last seven games of the season? Should they try to finish with some dignity? Or should they wrap it up and see what they have in the youth movement?
LA Rams Struggles:
The LA Rams have struggled mightily this season, marking the most brutal and painful Super Bowl hangover in history. Scoring just 16.2 points per game which ranks them 28th, the Rams’ struggles have come partly from the lack of depth and injuries on the offensive side of the ball. That depth has faded into the injury category and leaves LA with practice squad talent.
After the week 12 loss, the LA Rams rank 32nd in yards per play, 31st in rushing yards (877), 29th in total touchdowns (19), 31st in average starting field position (own 25.9), 31st in scoring percentage (29.1%), 28th in plays executed (679) and 31st in red zone attempts (29.) All of these numbers are all-time lows in the McVay era.
