I think the test of a team is not their ability to not make mistakes or lay a big egg in a game but rather how they respond and adapt to it. I have zero doubts the Rams have spent quite a bit of time the past 2 weeks now focusing on strategies for beating zero blitz/coverage, etc. It's an issue for the entire offense to master- Goff, McVay, the OL, RBs, etc.
Goff was very good overall their first 5 games and vs. Chicago. As a team they need to examine why they played so poorly in the first halves of three games (@BUF, @SF and @MIA, outscored 70-19 collectively). Mitigate disastrous first halves like those and they can and will play with anyone. Anyone.
Special teams also HAVE TO settle down. Hekker and the punt team are doing their part but the rest of the ST units have to be steady.
And the defense has to continue to learn and get better. Getting Fuller and Robinson back in the mix are pluses. And hopefully Lewis is now ready to contribute more the 2nd half of the season. He's averaged 14 snaps/game on defense the past four games. I'd like to see that double going forward.
