Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 03:01 · Archive
The Los Angeles Rams, preseason Super Bowl favourites, lost 18-16 to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, falling to 2-4.
The Los Angeles Rams lost 18-16 to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, extending their losing streak to three games. The preseason Super Bowl favourites are now 2-4. Head coach Sean McVay said the team must 'figure out how not to beat ourselves', pointing to erratic offensive and defensive play, haphazard special teams, untimely penalties, injuries and poor decision-making as factors in the losses.
Two of the Rams' past three defeats came at home within seven days by a combined five points. The loss to the Cardinals came after an overtime defeat to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, which ended with left tackle Alaric Jackson punching Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb after the game. Jackson received a one-game suspension, forcing 36-year-old journeyman David Quessenberry into the starting role and leaving the Rams struggling against Arizona's blitz packages.
Defensive end Kobie Turner acknowledged the team's poor performance. 'I think outside of expectations of our record, we're just not playing the type of ball that we want to put out,' he said. 'That's not the quality of ball that we expect. So, got to go back to the drawing board.'
