Rams Are Looking Like a Super Bowl Contender Behind Stafford's Offense and a Surging Defense
Rams kicker Joshua Karty leads the NFL with eight misses, and Coach McVay demands urgent improvements to halt losing momentum and maintain competitiveness.
- On November 2, Sean McVay, Los Angeles Rams head coach, told reporters the kicking problems persist despite work, saying the Los Angeles Rams kicking operation 'can’t continue like this' and fixing it is his responsibility.
- Rams kicker Joshua Karty missed a 39-yard field goal and an extra point against New Orleans Saints, both in the second quarter, leaving him with an NFL-high eight missed or blocked kicks.
- Those miscues, McVay said, 'take the air out of our sails' as both kicking errors happened while the Los Angeles Rams led in game second-quarter situations, costing momentum and affecting the season.
- The Rams could try out new kickers this week as McVay declined to single out staff including Chase Blackburn and urged a quick fix before Sunday’s game in San Francisco.
- The team's broader success masks a recurring special-teams problem as the Los Angeles Rams combine potent offense and defense with special teams as recurring weakness.
