Lost somewhere in the translation of allowing two field goals to be blocked, there has been almost no discussion about how the Rams gave up 26 points in the second half of their loss to the Eagles in Week 3. Of course, we can call the last touchdown allowed on the blocked field goal as a \u201cflukey score\u201d but L.A.\u2019s defense allowed the Eagles offense to score three touchdowns in the second half. That\u2019s a lot of touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Jalen Hurts needed a narrative shift so badly this season and he got it in the second half of Philadelphia\u2019s win over the Rams. Hurts three for three touchdowns and rushed for a fourth; he practically threw for half of his entire season\u2019s total of passing yards in the second half of one game.<\/p>\n
So do the Rams need to fix their field goal operation? Yes.<\/p>\n
Do the Rams need to spread the ball around to more than just to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams? Yes.<\/p>\n
Do the Rams need to get better at cornerback? Yes.<\/p>\n
Does Sean McVay need to re-evaluate his trust in certain veterans and up the ante on other options? Maybe.<\/p>\n
Do the Rams need to make a trade before the deadline? Possibly.<\/p>\n
But all of these questions can get answered on Sunday against the Colts and have those narratives shift for Emmanuel Forbes, Beaux Limmer, and Terrance Ferguson just as quickly as the story has changed for Jalen Hurts.<\/p>\n
As Rams fans, you know as well as anybody else \u2014 better than anyone in the media \u2014 what the Rams need to do against the Indianapolis Colts to get back in the win column and improve to 3-1. So what do you think the Rams need to do better against the Colts? Let us know in the comments. I\u2019ll add a few prompts to get you started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lost somewhere in the translation of allowing two field goals to be blocked, there has been almost no…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401614,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2059],"tags":[2005,7,2004,392,2381,55577,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-401613","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-colts","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-indianapolis","11":"tag-indianapolis-colts","12":"tag-indianapoliscolts","13":"tag-los-angeles-rams-game-information","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115277577998556645","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
