Jared Goff’s frequent turnovers
Goff simply cannot take care of the football. Against the Steelers last week, he fumbled it three times and threw two interceptions. He has 14 of the Rams’ 16 giveaways this season, and no matter who you play, if you turn the ball over, you have a good chance to lose.
If Goff can’t protect the ball in the pocket when the Bears’ pass rush gets home, and if he can’t avoid throwing costly interceptions, the Rams are going to have a hard time winning this game. They’re the more talented team on paper, but turnovers are a great equalizer in the NFL.
In games where the Rams have multiple turnovers this season, they’re 1-3. That’s no coincidence.
