The Los Angeles Rams lost their season finale at home to the Arizona Cardinals, 44-6, and the difference between the two teams with nothing to play for was striking. The Rams quit on their season at some point, as losing 11 of the final 12 games cost the head coach his job. It also makes critics and fans alike question the direction the organization is heading in after its first season back in the City of Angels. The 4-12 record is the team's worst performance since 2011, and with no premium draft picks coming up, the Rams need a new coach and a new attitude for 2017.
The Rams lost 11 of their final 12 games in an incredible pratfall.
It's a meaningless game for both the visiting Arizona Cardinals and the host Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at the Memorial Coliseum, so when players are listed as doubtful for a season finale where neither team is playoff bound, it means they probably will not be playing. Three Rams players fit that description in Week 17: Kenny Britt, Rob Havenstein and Lamarcus Joyner.
Week 17 features a slew of division rivalry games, but the one on Sunday night between the Lions and Packers will have the entire nation's attention.
Depending on earlier games, the loser may well toil in winter purgatory, watching the very party they were four quarters from joining.
The Rams have too much talent on their roster to be this bad, so it's very important for the organization to hire the right head coach in the offseason to make 2017 a significantly better season for the franchise.
There's plenty that remains to be determined in Week 17 and many fans will have to wait until the final clock strikes zero to know their team's fate.
Even by the stellar standards these teams set over the epoch, this was a glittering finish that reminded us why football is the best sport.
The Arizona Cardinals won the NFC West last season and lost in the NFC Championship Game. The team had high hopes for 2016, but things cratered out with a 1-3 start to the season, and the Cardinals never recovered.
For the third time this year, the Los Angeles Rams lost a fourth-quarter lead as an inept offense put undue pressure and strain on the defense. Despite leading the San Francisco 49ers by two touchdowns late on Saturday at the Memorial Coliseum, the Rams defense gave up two long scoring drives and the game-winning two-point conversion to lose for the 10th time in the last 11 games. Los Angeles is now 4-11 this season, including 0-2 since firing coach Jeff Fisher.
The Los Angeles Rams have a chance for a win on Saturday at home against the San Francisco 49ers, losers of 13 straight games this season. However, the Rams secondary could be down two players based on Friday's injury report. Luckily for L.A., the 49ers have the worst passing offense in the NFL this year, but that doesn't mean that the Rams can afford the injuries.
