Goff struggles behind poor offensive line play

The story of the season for the Rams has been the offensive lines struggles, and Goff’s struggles as a result. It’s been plaguing the team all year even if the line has improved in recent weeks. The group failed to protect their quarterback and didn’t give Gurley any room to run against the Cowboys. As a result, the offense was predictably bad.

Goff finished the day with 284 yards and two touchdowns, but 126 of those yards and both touchdowns came on the final two garbage-time drives of the game. We saw the same mistakes we always see when Goff struggles. He missed a few receivers and made a few questionable throws. His interception late in the second quarter was intercepted by Sean Lee, an inside linebacker. Lee wasn’t even the only player that had a shot of intercepting the football.

The offensive line deserves some of the blame for Goff’s struggles. But no quarterback is going to play behind a perfect offensive line every game of their career. Goff needs to adapt in situations like this. He can’t continue to miss throws and turn the ball over like he has this season. The Rams won’t succeed in the future if he does.
