Los Angeles Rams

This is only a short-term reason, but it is a good one. The Rams are the next opponent up for the Bucs. I know they are 1-1, but they haven’t scored a touchdown yet. In their return to Los Angeles, the Rams have averaged a whopping 4.5 points per game and 234 yards of offense per game, both good for dead last. “Dead” is a good word to describe the Rams’ offense so far.

Todd Gurley has only racked up 98 yards rushing so far, averaging 2.7 yards per carry. The Bucs are in a great position to beat these guys.
