# Rams' offense sputters

Sports · Heat 1.3 / 10 · 2 shows · 11m airtime

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. The discussion has moved to the disappearance of the early-down play-action attack, which is dragging the rest of the offense down. 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.

- [The Ryen Russillo Show](https://boilpoints.com/u/theryenrussilloshow), 2026-10-22, 1:02:45 to 1:10:00: **Puts numbers on the Rams' special teams outlier games**. Sando, who wrote the column the Rams' season has been argued over all week, puts a number on the special teams: three statistically outlier bad games, two of them wins. He argues the fixable flaw is the offense, a middle-of-the-pack unit with less play-action and less under center.
