Consistency — and improvement — is what the Rams hope to get in exhibition against Chargers

Gary Klein

The first-game performance against the Dallas Cowboys was brief, lasting only eight plays, and offered a few glimpses of development.

The next game against the Oakland Raiders was an extended opportunity, four series that resulted in three scoring drives.

On Saturday, Rams quarterback Jared Goff will have what is expected to be his final tuneup for the regular season when he faces the San Diego Chargers in a preseason game at the Coliseum.

Coach Sean McVay is looking for one thing from Goff, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft.

“You want to just see consistency,” McVay said.

Goff, 22, appeared to make great strides last week in a 24-21 victory at Oakland.

He played nearly the entire first half and connected with receivers, tight ends and running backs from the pocket and on rollouts. He completed 16 of 20 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown, but earned his highest praise from McVay for throwing away a pass rather than forcing the attempt and inviting a turnover or sack.

McVay wants more of the same from Goff against a Chargers team that held two joint practices with the Rams during training camp.
