The Rams’ performance throughout a blizzard should make them quite proud. Even though they were down 13 points with five minutes remaining, they never gave up and almost won. They just need two things to have a great future: a method to stop Saquon Barkley off tackle and a handful of defensive backs who can shut down opponents. I wish he had remained in New York.

You would expect defensive coordinator Chris Shula would come up with a containment-based plan for the divisional playoff game since the leaky Rams defense allowed Eagles running back Saquon Barkley to run for a ton of yards in November. Rather, for another billion, Barkley ran roughshod over the Rams’ vulnerable defense.

traveling. during a snowfall. hostile throng. What a brave Rams performance! fell just short of making a spectacular return. L.A. Strong!

Which team pulled off an incredible comeback rather than three turnovers nearly four years after the Rams and Lions traded quarterbacks? Of course, the one entering the Hall of Fame.
Rosenfeld, HankSanta Monica
The only topics your writers could come up with to write about after an amazing season that began 1-4 and ended in the divisional playoffs with a valiant drive in a driving snowstorm, in an unwelcoming stadium, with fervent fans yelling at them, were offseason contract decisions and the opposing team’s running back? Nobody had the idea to write something uplifting about the team’s heart and how proud the city and its supporters should be of their tremendous effort.
