one where you can run at will and still lose.

That said you also have to stop the run.

It was a closer game than the scoreboard suggested. However, the Rams' offense didn't capitalize on their opportunities. And the defense played poorly. Despite playing mostly backups, the Rams were competitive against a potential playoff team. If the Chargers played as soft as the Broncos did the week prior, I think the Rams would be looking at another blowout W.

The thing I like most is the OL is playing OK. Not good, not even really average but passable. And that is a huge step up from most of the season. From F- to C- on their report card.
