3 most frustrating factors from Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl 53 loss

2. Gurley’s lack of involvement again

No matter what, the Rams most likely won’t be able to escape the conversation coming this offseason about Todd Gurley‘s lack of impact on offense in the two most important games of the year in the NFC Championship and Super Bowl.

Two weeks after Gurley’s lack of impact in the NFC Championship was one of the biggest mysteries after the running back finished with just four carries for 10 yards with a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints, the Super Bowl wasn’t that much better.

Watching Gurley only receive 10 carries in the biggest game of the year for Los Angeles for 35 yards, 16 of which came on a single run, will be one of the most popular topics of discussion during the offseason, and chances are it’s going to get annoying real fast.

Towards the end of the regular season, Gurley missed the final two games due to a minor knee injury, and while McVay continues to claim in the playoffs it was no longer an issue, it’s tough not to wonder what was really going on.

To watch a dominant running back with 40 total touchdowns during the regular season over the last two years struggle the way he did over the final two games was beyond frustrating to see with Gurley.
