Rams are running out of explanations for poor start. They're also nearly out of chances to fix it
Sean McVay said the Rams have little margin for error after three losses by a combined 9 points and injuries to Davante Adams, Poona Ford and Kobie Turner.
- On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams fell to the Arizona Cardinals 18-16 at home, dropping to 2-4 and leaving their playoff hopes in jeopardy halfway through October.
- Coach Sean McVay's offense stumbled with erratic play-calling and Matthew Stafford's inconsistent decisions, a stark departure from the Super Bowl aspirations the team held merely six weeks ago.
- Star receiver Davante Adams is sidelined for at least six weeks with a hamstring injury, while defensive tackles Poona Ford and Kobie Turner face season-ending and short-term absences respectively; kicker Blake Grupe suffered a season-ending knee injury.
- The defensive front has recorded only eight sacks, second-fewest in the NFL, in Myles Garrett's absence; All-Pro receiver Puka Nacua received merely three targets against Arizona before the desperate final drive.
- With their margin for error vanishing, McVay said the team will "continue to fight" as they prepare for Vegas, where they must identify a new starting receiver and secure a replacement kicker.
