There’s something not right with the Los Angeles Rams. Some say it is the play of Jared Goff, who seems a little off, but I believe it has more to do with the offensive line. They are simply not the same as last year and the pressure on Goff allowed and the lack of a stout rushing attack, seem to indicate that the line is, in part, the reason for the poor offensive production. And that lack of consistency is the reason why the Rams are on the verge of falling out of contention for a playoff spot.
This week, the Rams sputtering offense ran into a brick wall in the form of the 49ers stout defense. And that was pretty much the story last Sunday. The 49ers offense is nothing special, but their defense is solid and that was the difference in the game.
Final score: 49ers – 20, Rams – 7.
As is our custom here, we do not dwell on the negative. So let us turn our attention to this week’s images of the Los Angeles Rams Cheerleaders. Click here to view the Rams gallery of images from last Sunday.
It was another tough outing for the struggling Chargers. This week, it was the Pittsburgh Steelers that gave the boys in blue all they wanted and more. And to make things worse, the number of Steelers fans in attendance made last Sunday feel like a home game in Pittsburgh.
Nothing like kicking the Chargers when they’re down. The Steelers had the audacity to start their third string quarterback against the Bolts and he acquitted himself well enough to deliver the victory for the visitors.
Final score: Steelers – 24, Chargers – 17.
If things don’t start improving soon for the Chargers, the season will be lost. But let us not dwell on the negative and, instead, focus on the positive…the Charger Girls. Click here to view the Chargers gallery of images from last Sunday’s game.

The Kansas City Chiefs were looking to bounce back from a losing effort last week and their game against the Houston Texans would be a good test to see if they had fixed the problems that were exposed by the Indianapolis Colts. It would also be a good opportunity to see how Patrick Mahomes deals with some personal adversity in the form of a bum ankle.
The Texans have a good defense and they got after Mahomes, keeping him off balance and disrupting his normal flow. As a result, Mahomes turned the ball over twice, but he was still able, bum ankle and all, to throw for over 270 yards and three touchdowns. Unfortunately, that was not enough as the KC defense gave up 472 total yards to the Texans for the loss.
Final score: Texans – 31, Chiefs – 24.
With their second consecutive loss, the Chiefs find themselves in a little bit of a quandary as they struggle while Mahomes recovers from his injury. No longer considered an offensive juggernaut, the Chiefs have look quite beatable the past two weeks. Perhaps the league has figured how to defend against Mahomes and his stable of quick twitch wide receivers. We shall see
