Why the Bears and Dolphins Losses Look Even Worse Today
Bears and Dolphins’ Thanksgiving Struggles Make Their Earlier Wins Over Rams Look Worse
As you gathered with family watching football on Thanksgiving, one question might have crossed your mind: How did the Los Angeles Rams lose to both the Chicago Bears and the Miami Dolphins?
The Bears, now 4-8 after a loss to the Detroit Lions, had a late-game rally, scoring 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. But poor clock management by Caleb Williams sealed their fate, leaving them just short of field goal range as time expired.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins, hoping for a third consecutive win to reach .500, stumbled against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers secured a decisive 30-17 victory, handing Miami their seventh loss and jeopardizing their AFC playoff hopes. It might be time to count them out.
The Rams, sitting at 5-6, are also in rough shape. Their season outlook would’ve been brighter had they handled games against middling teams. Instead, they’ve repeatedly failed key tests, cementing their status as a middle-of-the-road team.
LA hit rock bottom early in the season, starting 1-3 after losses to the Bears (18-24) and Packers. Though they clawed back to a .500 record, the Dolphins delivered another blow, winning 23-15 on Monday Night Football.
This weekend, the Rams face a must-win game against the New Orleans Saints. A victory would bring them to 6-6, keeping them alive in the tight but lackluster NFC West race. However, their wildcard hopes are fading fast.
As the NFL season unfolds, the Rams increasingly look like a team stuck in mediocrity.
