Dan Orlovsky, the Rams' offensive coordinator, expressed confidence in the team despite their Week 3 loss to the Broncos. Speaking on X, Orlovsky stated, "I thought the Rams played a better game than the Broncos." He attributed their loss to several factors, including "blown coverages" and the absence of Jaylen Watson. Orlovsky also pointed out that the team's struggles are due to travel, player health, and other challenges.
The Rams are currently 1-2 in the standings, having fallen behind the 49ers by two games. One of the main issues the team faces is finishing plays they start, as they average the second-most yards per game in the NFL at 417.7, but only score 20.3 points per contest. The absence of Puka Nacua, a key player in the red zone and an effective decoy in the pocket, has also impacted their performance.
Additionally, Matthew Stafford has been inconsistent, throwing 872 yards and six touchdowns in three games, but also four interceptions, which is on pace to exceed his season-high total of eight interceptions from the last two seasons. Rams head coach Sean McVay provided little insight into the team's performance after the 30-26 loss in Denver, spending only around 90 seconds addressing the media before signing off.
