5 Questions For Los Angeles Rams Heading Into Week 4 Against Arizona Cardinals

Will Todd Gurley Have Another Strong Performance?

Just like Austin, fans were feeling frustration towards Todd Gurley over the first two games after the running back failed to get anything going against the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. While the running back is still waiting to record his first 100-yard game of the young season, it was good to see Gurley find the end zone for the first time in Week 3 against the Buccaneers.

In fact, Gurley managed to score two touchdowns against the Tampa Bay on his way to recording 85 rushing yards on 27 carries. The former first-round pick could have performed better when it comes to yards-per-carry, but the important factor is this marked the first time in three games that Gurley was effective in the ground game.

The only chance Los Angeles is going to have at winning the division this year is if Gurley can carry the load on offense like he did during his rookie season. Expectations were high for Gurley prior to the start of the season after taking home Rookie of the Year honors in 2015, but he still has a long way to go if he’s going to be a top-five running back this season.

If LeSean McCoy managed to have a field day against Arizona’s rushing defense last weekend, there’s no reason why Gurley shouldn’t be able to do the same on Sunday.
