Don’t take it out on Tutu, the Rams should’ve known better

Tutu Atwell could be the worst one-year free agent contract in the history of the Rams, but that’s not his fault. What would you do if someone offered you $10 million to run in a straight line? I hope you would sign that contract. I know that I would. The Rams placed Atwell on injured […]

Puka Nacua expected to return in Week 9

Sean McVay told the Rams media on Monday that star wide receiver Puka Nacua is going to practice on Wednesday and be “ready to go” to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. That would mean that Nacua only missed one start, a 35-7 win over the Jaguars, and that L.A. has survived his […]

Rams would be in first place if they had played for tie

The Los Angeles Rams are tied for the best record in the NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks at 5-2, but they’re temporarily in a wild card spot as they approach midseason because L.A. has yet to win a conference game. However, if the Rams had tied the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, then […]
