It was a rough outing for Cam Akers on Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Rams’ second-year running back was limited to 48 yards on 24 attempts against Tampa Bay’s stout run defense and he fumbled the ball twice.
Even with Akers coughing up the ball twice, Sean McVay’s confidence in the young running back hasn’t wavered moving forward.
“Still have tremendous faith and confidence in Cam Akers, he’s going to be a great player — there will be a couple plays that he wants back, then we had a little miscommunication on the one snap after we end up getting the turnover in their territory,” McVay said. “Those are things that [we] can’t have, but we were able to overcome it, and I’m excited for those guys.”
