LOS ANGELES (AP) —n’t in Sean McVay’s two seasons as head coach: a losing streak.Philadelphia’s 30-23 win at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Sunday night marks the first time under McVay that the Rams have dropped back-to-back games Authentic Cory Littleton Jersey , something that seemed unfathomable after they defeated Kansas City 54-51 on Nov. 18. The Rams were 10-1 and tied for the league’s best record when they went on their bye week, but haven’t been the same team since, as they’ve dropped two of three.Los Angeles (11-3) has had a playoff spot sewn up for a couple weeks, but no team wants to be stumbling with the postseason drawing near.“It’s hard to argue against that based on the way we’ve played. Your tape is your resume and we haven’t played as good as a team,” said McVay when asked if the bye week ended up knocking his team off its stride. “Guys are making decisions and mistakes we typically haven’t seen. This wasn’t good enough and it is a tough pill to swallow.”The epitome of the Rams’ struggles has been Jared Goff. The third-year quarterback went into the bye week second in the NFC with a 113.5 passer rating, but he has been in a slump since. Over the past three games, Goff has completed only 55 percent of his passes, has six interceptions to only one touchdown and a 51.3 passer rating.“We have been seeing a little bit of everything in terms of fronts and coverages. It is nothing we haven’t seen before, but teams are mixing it up. At the same time we are beating ourselves and we have to figure it out,” Goff said.Goff — who was 35 of 54 for 339 yards and two interceptions — had a brutal third quarter in which he completed just 3 of 9 passes for 24 yards. He also had one of the ugliest turnovers of the season late in the quarter. On third-and-1 on the Rams’ 34, Goff tripped over the foot of center John Sullivan and fumbled the ball Limited Austin Blythe Jersey , but he was able to recover. As Goff got up to throw, his half volley was intercepted by Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham at the Rams’ 28 and returned 16 yards.Two plays later, Wendall Smallwood scored from 4 yards out to extend the Eagles’ lead to 30-13. It was the largest deficit the Rams have faced at home this season.The Rams have a minus-three turnover ratio in their three games since the bye after being plus-11 in their first 11.McVay said that Goff has to make better decisions, like taking a sack and punting it instead of making things worse.The Rams rallied in the fourth quarter and had a chance to tie it on the last play, but Goff’s pass to the end zone, which was intended for Josh Reynolds, was incomplete.“It’s good to go through some adversary at some point. We are in the playoffs, but we have to be urgent about getting these things fixed, but they are very fixable,” Goff said.Los Angeles did try to establish the run game early, but had to abandon it when it fell behind. Todd Gurley was out for part of the third quarter after tweaking his knee but he did return.Gurley Ethan Westbrooks Jersey , whose first-quarter touchdown made him the third Rams player to score 20 TDs in a season, said he was fine after the game.“It is not the end of the world, we still are 11-3,” Gurley said. “We know what we can do better. We know who we are as a team and where we are trying to go.”Defensively, the Rams have only one sack in the past two games and haven’t been able to generate much pressure. Aaron Donald has gone without a sack the past two games and only had only one quarterback hit against the Eagles’ Nick Foles.The secondary has been susceptible to big plays most of the season and Sunday was no exception as Foles had five completions of 18 yards or more. Alshon Jeffery had eight receptions for 160 yards, which is the third-most receiving yards he has had in a game for his career.“If you want to be great, you have to be great. You have to show up in big games and this was a big game for us,” Donald said.Los Angeles still controls its destiny for a first-round bye, but New Orleans (11-2) could take a huge step toward getting home field throughout the playoffs with a win at Carolina on Monday night. Even if the Panthers were to win, the Rams would need to win their final two games at Arizona and against San Francisco and need the Saints to lose either to Pittsburgh or the season-finale against Carolina to get the top seed because New Orleans has the tiebreaker after beating the Rams earlier in the season.“We have football to play no matter what,” offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “The month of December is crazy. Every year you see teams that weren’t winning start to win and you see teams that were starting to struggle. That is why this month is what it is. Teams are fighting either for the playoffs or guys are fighting for their careers.”Los Angeles Rams DE/OLB Dominique Easley undergoes knee surgery John Sullivan Jersey Salute to Service , likely to land on injured reserve Ugh.Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay just said in his press remarks today that DE/OLB Dominique Easley underwent knee surgery on his left knee, the one he injured last year, and is likely to miss the rest of the season on injured reserve.It’s a brutal injury for Easley for what is the fifth knee injury of his football career. He re-upped on a one-year contract his offseason, so he’ll be a free agent again next March. It would have made for a great story to have put in a solid 2018 and hit a new deal on the back of some good tape, but sadly that’s not going to happen. We’ll have to see what his market is like next March. Hard not to consider if this is a career-ender, sadly.As for the Rams, it’s yet another man on the outside down. Easley would join OLB Carlos Thompson, OLB Garrett Sickels and EDGE Morgan Fox on IR; additionally, rookie EDGE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo is on the Physically Unable to Perfom list having broken his foot during the offseason program. EDGE Matt Longacre started in place of Easley in Week 4. Fair to assume that’s the starting point heading into practice this week with EDGE Justin Lawler and OLB Trevon Young providing depth.Sucks for Dom. Obviously, he deserved better from the fates. Here’s hoping for the best for him in recovery and beyond.
