Rams once again fall flat in prime time with a chance to move into a tie atop the NFC West

Associated Press  

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — For the second time in three weeks, the Los Angeles Rams went into a game knowing a win would move them into a tie for the NFC West lead, only to struggle mightily on the prime-time stage. Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley ran for 255 yards, the most the Rams have allowed to a running back, but it was the familiar struggles on offense and special teams that also loomed just as large in Sunday night’s 37-20 loss to the Eagles. “We really needed to play gap sound but any time an opponent gets rushing yards, that’s embarrassing.” Barkley’s 255 yards is the most a running back has gained against the Rams, surpassing the previous mark of 253 by Dallas’ DeMarco Murray in a 2011 game. After Barkley’s 70-yard run put the Eagles up 20-7 early in the third quarter, the Rams fought back and got within six when Matthew Stafford connected with Demarcus Robinson for a 2-yard pass.
