Los Angeles Rams. 26. team. 51. The best part of the Rams playing in London was that their fans were all still asleep and didn’t get to see that mess. Unfortunately, everyone else got to see Case Keenum throw interceptions and disgrace the sport of football on an international level. Not even Ryan Fitzpatrick can do that. The fact that Keenum is still playing and Jared Goff is not is a worrisome sign for fans. Los Angeles passed on Carson Wentz and Dak Prescott, and traded a lot to get their franchise quarterback. Goff has proven he was not ready to transition from the “Air Raid offense” to the NFL. Perhaps with a bye week coming up could present the best transition to get Goff in the mix. <p>Next Week: A bye week has arrived for the Rams, and it gives them the perfect opportunity to give Jared Goff a chance. Even if you don’t start him coming out of the bye week, put him to the test in practice. Let him develop chemistry with Tavon Austin and Todd Gurley to see what they have midway through the season.</p> <p>Playoff Hopes: Los Angeles fans will have to wait for the playoffs. Despite having a three-game win streak and sitting in second place in the NFC West, the Rams are what we knew they were. This team has the pieces to grow into a contender someday, but today is not the time.</p>. 3-4. Previous:
