  • With 0-2 start, Rams in unchartered waters under McVay

    Eric Lambkins II, Sports Reporter|Sep 19, 2024

    Sean McVay's face conveyed it all, even before he stepped up to the microphone after the game last Sunday. These 0-2 waters are unchartered territory for him. There's a certain silence that lingers after a loss like the one they endured last Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals on the road. You felt it in the Rams locker room, heard it in the way cleats scuffed the floor inside the locker room, in the low murmur of voices trying to make sense of something that felt senseless. You saw it on the...

    Bill Seals - Fred Altieri, Sports Reporters - PFWA Members|Sep 19, 2024

    1. Kansas City Chiefs (2-0): The Chiefs have a very good defense and quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Those two things make them tough to beat. But they have already lost running back Isiah Pacheco for 6-8 weeks with a broken fibula and have lost wide receiver Marquise Brown for the season with a dislocated shoulder. A three-peat may be too much to ask this season. Next: -3.5 at Atlanta Falcons - Sun, Sep. 22 – O/U: 46.5 (ATS: 1-1 – O/U: 2-0) 2. Buffalo Bills (2-0): The Bills came away with an imp...

  • Rams dominated by Cardinals in Arizona

    Mykell Mathieu, Sports Reporter|Sep 19, 2024

    The Rams had no answer for quarterback Kyler Murray and the Cardinals as Murray's 325 total yards and two touchdowns helped lead Arizona to their 41-10 home-opening victory.
