Matthew Stafford was out of the game which meant John Wolford got the start for the Los Angeles Rams against the Arizona Cardinals. The visiting team was also without their starter as Kyler Murray was replaced by Colt McCoy.
The Rams were at the disadvantage with McCoy having the edge over Wolford and that showed as they spent the majority of the game playing from behind. In the end, they lost 27-17 and the defending champs are now just 3-6 on the season. It’s never easy to predict anything that will happen in the NFL but the Rams struggling this much never seemed like a possibility.

Justin Fields has turned things around this season and finally looks like the player the Chicago Bears expected him to be. On Sunday, he was able to score four touchdowns as he had two through the air and two on the ground — while also running for 147 yards.
As a whole, the Bears went for 258 yards rushing and they were up 24-10 heading into the final quarter. That’s when their defense fell apart as they surrendered 21 points in the final 15 minutes and lost by one point.
The problem remains a complete lack of talent. Outside of Fields, no one else really stood out and the inability of the defense to make a stop in the fourth was a major problem as well. But hey, at least it seems they have the quarterback situation figured out.
