Are the Rams cooked? A look at why Sean McVay's team is so disappointing, and if they can bounce back

The Los Angeles Rams have stumbled to a 2-4 start, falling well short of expectations as preseason Super Bowl favorites. Their recent 18-16 defeat to the Arizona Cardinals marked a significant upset, as the Rams entered the contest as 13.5-point favorites.

The team currently sits at the bottom of the NFC West standings. Matthew Stafford has struggled to replicate his previous MVP-level performance, showing a notable decline in deep-ball efficiency and overall offensive explosiveness compared to his 2025 campaign.

Specifically, his downfield connection with Puka Nacua has faltered, resulting in zero touchdowns and two interceptions on targets of 10 or more yards.
