Nick Foles and the offensive line must do a complete 180. 

Nick Foles must find a passing game, or else teams will only focus on stopping the run. But before Foles can find a passing game and connection with his receivers, the offensive line needs to come together in a big way. The offensive line has been so inconsistent this year, with false starts, holding  penalties and failing to provide protection for Foles to even think about passing the ball. .

In their two wins, Nick Foles had a quarterback rating of 115.8, and 126.9. Foles threw for a combined 468 yards and four touchdowns. The Rams offense found their true self those games. With a running game, passing game and defensive front that is nearly impossible to stop the Rams won against two elite teams in the NFL today.

In the games the Rams have lost, the passing game was no where to be found, and the offensive line was all over the place. Foles had an average quarterback rating of 57.7 along with 2 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. The Rams could have the best defense in the league, yet that won’t matter at all if the offense does not put up points.

The Rams are a passing game away from becoming a playoff team.
