7 takeaways from Rams’ narrow preseason loss to Texans

The Rams made too many mistakes on offense Friday night, but there were plenty of bright spots overall

Preseason losses are obviously much easier to swallow than regular-season defeats, knowing the record that matters still sits at 0-0. But even though the Rams’ starters aren’t playing, Sean McVay wants to see his players executing the game plan and playing clean football.

Here’s what we learned from the Week 2 loss by the Rams, who have one preseason game left next weekend.
