On October 22, with the Rams at 4-2, coverage assessed a season marked by Davante Adams's six-to-10-week absence, special teams costing them the Seattle game, and Matthew Stafford's diminished mobility.

A separate read holds that Los Angeles has had three statistically outlier bad special teams games and won two of them. The roster build, the missing first-round pick and a thin draft remain open questions.
