Turnovers are one of the biggest reasons why the Los Angeles Rams continued to lose games this season. In Sunday’s 24-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers, turnovers once again negatively impacted the Rams’ performance.

Two costly turnovers in the third quarter led to scores for the Packers.

The Los Angeles offense marched down the field on the Rams’ first possession of the third quarter. Everything looked good until running back Kyren Williams fumbled the ball on the Green Bay 27-yard line.

The Packers recovered the fumble and scored a touchdown two plays later. Packs quarterback Jordan Love connected with tight end Tucker Kraft for a 66-yard catch and run score. Darious Williams and Quentin Lake failed to stop Kraft from reaching the end zone.

The Rams trailed 17-13, but had a chance to take the lead when they got the ball back. The Rams ruined their chances by turning the ball over again.

Matthew Stafford threw an interception to Green Bay safety Xavier McKinney that was originally intended for wideout Tutu Atwell. The burden on Stafford is a tough one without his star receivers, Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua.

Not to mention that Stafford is also missing his starting center and left guard. All four starters are dealing with injuries.

Stafford also attributed the loss to a lack of offense.

“I think we moved the ball well between the 20s, we just didn’t score enough points,” Stafford said via the team’s transcript. “And you know, that’s the name of the game in this league. You have to score points and take care of the football. I think we can be better in both areas.”

The Rams are 1-4, with the lone win coming over NFC West rivals the San Francisco 49ers. Los Angeles isn’t the only team in the division facing their respective issues. However, Rams head coach Sean McVay believes the team’s worst enemy is themselves.

“There’s a lot of things happening that we have to figure out how to learn from at an accelerated pace,” McVay said. “We’re dealing with some mental issues that don’t normally happen here, but they do, and we have to figure out how to eliminate them. Before you can start winning games, you have to learn how not to beat yourself. “

The Rams have a bye week to reevaluate their identity as the season progresses.
