When the Los Angeles Rams flip on the tape this week after their loss to the Jets, they won’t have to dive too deep in order to find out where things went wrong. Very clearly, this game came down to only a handful of plays.
They weren’t all preventable mistakes by the Rams, but there were plenty of self-inflicted wounds suffered by L.A. in this embarrassing 23-20 loss at home. Whether it was penalties, special teams mistakes or defensive blunders, the Rams shot themselves in the foot too many times on Sunday.
Looking back on the loss, these eight plays had the biggest impact on the outcome for the Rams, essentially costing themselves a win over the 0-13 Jets.
