Rams QB Case Keenum searching for that final drive

The Los Angeles Rams have lost back-to-back games largely because of their defense, which gave up a combined 61 points to the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions. But in both instances, their offense has had a chance to put together one late drive that might've won the game and instead turned the ball over.

Over the past two games, Keenum has completed 76.2 percent of his passes (second-best in the NFL during that time) and has thrown for 592 yards (fifth).

But in Week 5, trailing by four, Keenum had the ball at his own 18-yard line with less than five minutes left and went three-and-out, leading to the failed fake punt that set the Bills up for the touchdown that put them up by two scores. And in Week 6, trailing by three, with the ball at the Rams' 29 and just over a minute left, Keenum threw into triple coverage for the game-ending interception, spoiling a day during which he completed a franchise-record 19 consecutive passes.
