The Los Angeles Rams<\/a> continued their march toward the playoffs Sunday in a matchup with the Carolina Panthers<\/a> in Charlotte, but things didn’t go according to plan. It was their first road game since Week 10 and they looked like a team that wasn’t ready for what Carolina had to throw at them.<\/p>\n

Having won six in a row, the Rams were looking to pad their lead in the NFC with a win, instead giving away the top seed to the Chicago Bears<\/a> with a stunning 31-28 loss. Here’s a recap of how the Rams collapsed against the Panthers<\/a> and suffered a painful loss on the road.<\/p>\n
