With a rotating cast of offensive linemen, the Los Angeles Rams have had their share of struggles in recent weeks. Quarterback Matthew Stafford has faced constant pressure on his passing attempts, and some talking heads have suggested that the team turn to their ground game to take some of the heat off him.
But they haven’t shown much ability to run the ball either. Running back Cam Akers only gained 33 yards on 13 carries against the Cowboys, and it seems that his lack of production forces the hand of Los Angeles’ play-caller to push the ball through the air.
