Rams close preseason with 16-7 loss to Bengals: Defense can’t bail out sluggish offense

The Los Angeles Rams don’t put much stock in the preseason when it comes to winning and losing games. They keep their starters and key backups on the sidelines each week, preventing them from suffering injuries in these exhibition games.

Both the Rams and Cincinnati Bengals rested their starters in Saturday’s preseason finale and the result was a second straight loss by Los Angeles. The Rams lost to the Bengals, 16-7, ending the preseason with a 1-2 record. The offense was mostly to blame for this one, putting together only one scoring drive on the night. The first half was especially sloppy, picking up just one first down and gaining a total of 75 yards.
