The Rams are wasting too much high-end talent on stalled possessions. Arizona held Matthew Stafford and the offense to 286 yards, 5.1 yards per play and three scores in 10 drives despite entering the game with one of the league's worst defensive profiles. The defense kept Los Angeles alive, but the offense and special teams left another winnable game sitting there.
Los Angeles moved lower after an 18-16 Week 6 loss, as declines in Recent Performance and QB Stability outweighed a gain in Roster Strength.
Los Angeles is still built around Matthew Stafford distributing to high-end skill talent, but the offense is losing too many snaps before those matchups matter. Arizona's pressure and blitz looks held the Rams to 286 yards, while the run game never created a dependable answer. The defense kept the score low. The Rams need offense and special teams to stop wasting that help.
Matthew Stafford has to give Los Angeles a steady answer when the first read or the opening script disappears. The larger concern is the quarterback’s age and health behind an offense that still depends heavily on his anticipation.
Pick the winner.
Los Angeles owns one of the tougher remaining roads in the league because Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers form the hardest part of it. PFM has the schedule No. 1 with an opponent average of 81.1 and 5 games against current top-10 teams. The road is not difficult from start to finish, but the stretch around Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers leaves little room for an off week.
Toughest remaining opponent: 
Kansas City Chiefs at 92.4 PFM.
Los Angeles Rams sits 3rd in the division, 5.7 PFM points from San Francisco.

Matthew Stafford still leads a championship-caliber roster, but the Rams need a real succession plan at quarterback. Stetson Bennett is the current backup, making a developmental passer with starting upside a major future need.
Alaric Jackson and Warren McClendon Jr. are the current tackle starters, with veteran David Quessenberry behind them. Another young tackle would protect the offense from age and depth concerns up front.
Nate Landman and Omar Speights currently start inside. The Rams could use another rangy linebacker who can cover, run and add competition to a group without a dominant long-term centerpiece.
