What secrets about LA Rams OL can we uncover with 2022 dashboard?

September Dashboard

The LA Rams will play just three games in the month of September 2022. The team has two games on the record books, and must now gird themselves to face the Arizona Cardinals and the desert heat in Week 3. What can Rams fans expect in Week 3?

Well, despite the LA Rams opening with a hugely disappointing effort against the Buffalo Bills, their Week 2 performance was a vast improvement. Were the Rams simply rusty due to not competing in real-time NFL speed prior to the home opener? Or do the Buffalo Bills truly outclass the Rams?  While we won’t know that answer for some time, everyone can take heart in the fact that the Rams’ offensive line made huge positive strides for Week 2.
