It was easy to see that the Ravens needed to be better in pass coverage over the first nine games of the season and Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase elevated the issue to a crisis level last Thursday.
The stage was set with Hollywood stars and other pro athletes on hand to see the Rams make a statement in prime time. Except the Dolphins made L.A. look bad.
The Rams didn't get the result they wanted against the Dolphins on Monday night, but they got another standout performance from rookie edge rusher Jared Verse.
The Rams' offense repeatedly settled for field goals at the ends of long drives in Monday night's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins, and quarterback Matthew Stafford knows that's not good enough.
