There have been a lot of reasons the Rams offense has performed astonishingly poorly through nine weeks, and the running game is way up there on the list of issues. It’s the worst ground game in the NFL right now, ranking last in rushing attempts (191) and rushing yards (613), as well as 31st in yards per carry (3.2).
It’s not as if there was one great performance and eight terrible ones, either. They’ve all been bad, with no signs of life any time the Rams run the ball. Their longest carry of the season is only 23 yards, too, which is hard to believe.
