Rams’ offense did something in Week 8 it hasn’t done this century - Rams Wire

The Los Angeles Rams’ offense couldn’t have started much slower against the Los Angeles Chargers.

For the first time this century, the Rams started a game with five consecutive three-and-outs on offense, according to TruMedia via The Athletic's Nate Aktins.

Together, the five drives covered 14 yards on 16 plays. The Rams’ only points in that stretch came after the Chargers threw an interception, which gave them a short field for the field goal and a 3-0 lead.

Even with the poor showing early, the Rams went into halftime with a 10-9 lead in the Week 8 game after a Kyren Williams touchdown late in the second quarter.

It's still not a good start for the Rams team that desperately needs a win against a winless Chargers team.
