Foles back at QB for Rams with Keenum limited by concussion
The St. Louis Rams’ season is spiraling down the drain, with the team sitting at 4-7 following Sunday’s 31-7 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Foles most costly mistake came deep in his own territory when he threw an off-balanced pass that was intercepted by Bengals’ cornerback Leon Hall and taken back for a touchdown.
“We’ve got to continue to doing what we did yesterday”.
The Nick Foles/Case Keenum experience has not gone well – the Rams are dead last in the league in passing and they average just under 18 points per game as well, which is one of the worst marks in the league as well. Now Foles is expected to step back into the starting lineup but regardless of who is under center, the Rams don’t have the passing attack to hang with the Bengals today.
“They’re not always going to be like this, but it’s nice to kind of control the game, especially the way we did”, Dalton said. The defense has limited opponents to 10 points or less in four of the last five games.
“Yeah, it hurts”, linebacker James Laurinaitis said. “Success is precious. You just have to stick to what you do”.
The longest winning streak in Bengals history ended with losses to Houston on Monday night and Arizona on Sunday night.
Bray returned a kickoff 20 yards in the Colts’ 25-12 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dalton completed almost 75 percent of his passes and shredded the defensive backs for three touchdown passes.
Cincinnati tight end Tyler Eifert has been an absolute beast so far this season. The rookie had eclipsed 100 yards rushing in four games this season. He limped off the field in the fourth quarter and got his left ankle taped. He has been called the best running back in the National Football League already by many respected media members, but it seems that Gurley is finally hitting his rookie wall.
It was a breakthrough for Hill, whose previous high this season was 63 yards.
Arizona 19, San Francisco 13: Carson Palmer ran for a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown with 2:28 left and tumbled after spiking the ball, and Arizona squeaked by San Francisco, 19-13.
The Coach should be focused on NY, but deep down inside he certainly understands the competitive advantage that comes with having two less road games than the majority of the NFL.
Albright was seeking to get off to a fast start on Saturday much like it did in its 49-0 victory over Norwich in the opening round of the playoffs, but it was the Purple Raiders who got off to the fast start. In the receiving end, Giovani Bernard had 128 yards in eight receptions while AJ Green added 79 yards in four catches.
“Probably one of my easiest touchdowns ever”, Green said. It was Austin’s team-high and career-high eighth TD of the season, and it was set up by a 60-yard jet sweep with Austin taking the handoff from “quarterback” Todd Gurley – who was lined up in the Wildcat formation.
“We’re just trying to get right after these two stumbles we had”, defensive tackle Domata Peko said.
With both aspects of the football game under par, it is hard to see the Rams progressing up the ladder to a playoff position this season, as this season’s hopes have been shattered by the teams awful run of 4 losses and inconsistent play.
