Rams defense is finding its identity while offense is losing its way
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — It’s about a quarter-mile walk around the curved ground floor of SoFi Stadium to get from the postgame news conferences and locker room to the elevator that leads back up to the press box. Somewhere along that walk on Sunday night, after the Los Angeles Rams beat the Las Vegas Raiders 20-15, their second win of the season, amid the frenzy of the golf carts whizzing by and buses loaded with equipment and production crews packed up their gear, I was struck by one clear thought: I don’t actually know what this team believes it is on offense. … They were definitely playing an aggressive style defense today so I was trying to counteract it by getting the ball in space to our guys and letting them do their thing.” The Rams’ offense didn’t score a touchdown in the first quarter for a sixth consecutive game and started 1-for-7 on third down. — Jourdan Rodrigue October 20, 2024 “I think we’re starting to find our identity, putting guys in the right spots and being able to take advantage of their skill sets,” McVay said. “We got healthier … we’ve scored two touchdowns in the last two games, we’ve forced some turnovers, been able to really apply a lot of pressure.
