The Rams were expected to beat the Dolphins. They were only 3.5-point favorites, but just about everyone thought they’d head into their bye week with a 6-2 record.
Brian Flores and the Dolphins had other plans, however. Miami stymied the Rams offense on Sunday afternoon, creating an NFL-high four turnovers in the first half, jumping out to a 28-7 lead.
The Rams defense pitched a shutout again in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a huge 21-point deficit in the first half. L.A. heads into the break at 5-3 after its 28-17 loss to Miami.
Here’s everything you need to know about the forgettable game for the Rams, who dominated the stat sheet but lost badly on the scoreboard.
