29. team. 51. Jared Goff is still looking for his first NFL win after Tom Brady dismantled the Los Angeles defense. Brady, who became the all-time winningest quarterback in league history Sunday, attempted only three passes of 15 yards for more. The majority of his passes were for less-than five yards. Perhaps that’s due to the loss of Rob Gronkowski, or just excellent game planning by New England. Goff’s two interceptions are another sign he may not be ready for the NFL, but he needs the learning pains in order to have a successful career. Rams fans just hope those pains go away sooner than later considering what they traded for the number one pick. <p>Next Week: Los Angeles hosts the Falcons, who will be coming off a tough game against Kansas City where they lost after Eric Berry converted a “pick-two” in the one-point loss. With the Buccaneers and Falcons now tied for first in the NFC South, Atlanta will give the Rams all they’ve got, despite losing multiple players to injury.</p> <p>Draft Talk: Los Angeles has regressed despite having Todd Gurley and Jared Goff now the leaders on offense. Gurley’s sophomore slump has a lot to do with that, but the Rams need to add more talent around the two. With no first or third-round pick thanks to the Goff trade, Los Angeles will need to get creative this offseason. Watch for either an interior offensive lineman or defensive back in the second-round. Hopefully the allure of living in Los Angeles will be enough to attract free agents.</p>. 4-8. Previous: . Los Angeles Rams
