Rams lose stunner to Arizona<\/p>\n
From Gary Klein<\/a>: Other than the missing 23 carats of diamonds, the replica Super Bowl LVI rings<\/a> fans received on Sunday at SoFi Stadium looked like the real thing.<\/p>\n That\u2019s more than the Rams<\/a> can claim.<\/p>\n The team that opened the season as the overwhelming favorite to win Super Bowl LXI<\/a> continued to look like a cheap imitation.<\/p>\n They did not flash. They did not sparkle.<\/p>\n They looked dull. Lifeless.<\/p>\n And when Chad Ryland<\/a> of the Arizona Cardinals kicked his sixth field goal as time expired, the Rams lost 18-16 in front of 72,573<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s nothing positive that I can say,\u201d Rams coach Sean McVay lamented.<\/p>\n First-year Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur<\/a>, the Rams\u2019 former offensive coordinator, outcoached and outmaneuvered McVay, his friend and mentor.<\/p>\n With just more than a third of the season complete, the Rams are 2-4.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are what our record is,\u201d quarterback Matthew Stafford said.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a><\/p>\n Rams summary<\/a><\/p>\n NFL standings<\/a><\/p>\n Go beyond the scoreboard <\/p>\n Get the latest on L.A.’s teams in the daily Sports Report newsletter.<\/p>\n By continuing, you agree to our Terms of Service<\/a>, which include arbitration and a class action waiver.

The Chargers are 0-6 to start the season for the first time since 2000, when they finished 1-16. They\u2019ve also lost nine straight games since last season, tying a franchise mark for most consecutive losses.<\/p>\n \u201cI truly believe and was confident that we would win this game,\u201d Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh<\/a> told reporters. \u201cWe have to address everything, guys, and especially offensively.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not scoring enough points. That\u2019s the bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n The Chargers\u2019 offense, already weakened by a series of injuries to its offensive line and receiving corps, struggled mightily, recording their second-lowest output of the season at 259 total yards. They also lost wide receiver Ladd McConkey<\/a>, who was ruled out midway through the second quarter with a concussion. He had just one catch in his return from a foot injury that kept him out last week against Denver.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a><\/p>\n Chargers summary<\/a><\/p>\n NFL standings<\/a><\/p>\n UCLA moves up to No. 9 in rankings, USC to No. 16<\/p>\n Miami is No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 2002, No. 2 BYU has its highest ranking since its 1984 national championship season and Notre Dame and Georgia stayed in the top five Sunday after both lost close games.<\/p>\n The UCLA Bruins, who are 6-0 after defeating Wisconsin, moved into the top 10 at No. 9, while idle USC moved up three spots to No. 16.<\/p>\n The Hurricanes took over the top spot from Georgia, which lasted one week at No. 1 after losing to Auburn at home.
