LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams were still reeling from the mass shooting less than five miles from their training complex when wildfires consumed the nearby hills Austin Blythe Jersey , forcing a canceled practice and the evacuation of many players and coaches from their homes.At the close of a horrific week in Thousand Oaks, a comeback victory over the Seattle Seahawks somehow seemed both more trivial and even sweeter to these resilient Rams.Brandin Cooks rushed for a 9-yard touchdown with 5:49 to play on the first snap after Dante Fowler forced and recovered a fumble by Russell Wilson, and the Rams bounced back from their first loss of the season with a 36-31 victory Sunday.Article continues below ...Jared Goff was forced from his home during the week, but he passed for 318 yards and two touchdowns as the Rams (9-1) swept the season series with their division rivals.“It’s just been a tough week for the whole city, the whole area up there,” Goff said of the Rams’ weekday hometown, one hour northwest of downtown Los Angeles. “Hoping today provided a little bit of joy and regularity for those people.”Todd Gurley rushed for 120 yards and a score as Los Angeles moved into commanding position for its second consecutive NFC West title, but only after plenty of late drama in a rivalry that’s never lacking in excitement.Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee caught TD passes for the Rams, who survived a topsy-turvy game with just enough big plays.

We had to move ourselves, so to win a game like this, a divisional game, we’re trying to give people something to smile about.”Fowler, the pass-rush specialist acquired from Jacksonville late last month, made up for his costly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the third quarter by stripping Wilson of the ball and then recovering the fumble, setting up Cooks’ run for a 12-point lead.Wilson threw three touchdown passes, rushed for 92 yards and nearly rallied the Seahawks (4-5) all the way back after his fumble.Wilson hit Mike Davis for a short TD catch to cap a 90-yard drive with 1:56 to play.

By most measures, last season was a triumph. Just two years removed from Jeff Fisher’s 4-12 curtain call, the Rams became a bonafide heavyweight as well as a conference champion for the first time since 2001. Yet, it’s human nature to focus on what can be fixed to make sure that the final step will be successful next time. With that being said, here are couple questions that Rams fans can obsess over while looking forward to September. How will QB Jared Goff and Head Coach Sean McVay respond to their late season and Super Bowl struggles?This is the scariest question to many. Following the bye week Torry Holt Jersey , last season’s offense had a far more difficult time developing rhythm. Games against the Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, and Philadelphia Eagles were all cause for concern before the Rams shifted to a bruising ground attack behind late season backfield addition C.J. Anderson. The Rams finished the season with a couple victories followed by two impressive playoff showings against the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. However, concerns were brought back to life when the Rams offense looked (and was) baffled by a New England Patriots defensive look that at times resembled what the Rams had seen in Chicago and Detroit earlier in the season.So there’s clearly a blueprint out on how to riddle the generally explosive Rams offense. With the exception of a very impressive NFC Championship showing, in games when the ground game has been slowed, Jared Goff often hasn’t been able to drag his team to victory. What steps can be taken to keep the the chains moving when defenses aren’t biting on the play action? We won’t truly know if the Rams offense has taken another step forward until they face defensive juggernauts like the Bears and Baltimore Ravens in Weeks 11 and 12, but there are a couple reasons for hope. Goff has shown a commitment to improve in each of his three seasons, and so far he has. If McVay can pinpoint the chinks in Goff’s armor that got him filleted in the Super Bowl — and McVay has surely already done that — then Goff and McVay can spend the entire offseason working on those reads. Will it be enough? Check back in Week 11.
