Key points

• The Los Angeles Rams have started the 2026 NFL season at 2-4, sitting last in the NFC West after losing 18-16 to the Arizona Cardinals. The team was tipped as a Super Bowl favourite.
• The piece argues that coach Sean McVay shares blame for the slump. Its criticisms include running the ball too rarely, poor clock and game management in close games, weak special teams with frequent kicker changes, and a limited third receiver option behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
• It also says the team has often looked unprepared.
