5 Positives From Rams Loss to Eagles

That should've been Ahkello Witherspoon's job, but now that he's hurt, the Rams need to find an answer. To be frank, I'm not suggesting a roster change, just a different approach.

2. Joshua Karty is built for the moment

Karty went four for six on field goals, and the two misses were blocks. While we'll never know if his kicks would have gone in, what we do know is that Karty is the long-term answer to the position for a variety of reasons.

Karty could be the Rams' latest weapon in the ever-evolving rules of special teams.

3. The issues are fixable

The Rams went toe-to-toe with the Super Bowl champion in their inpenetrable stadium and had them in reach. In fact, they were likely one or two touchdowns away from calling game but it's the little things that dictate everything.

The red zone remains an issue, but everything else are quick fixes. When to go for it on fourth down, when to stick with the run, when to blitz, and other tendencies. The Eagles are a great team and this is the growing pains of becoming that level of a unit.

4. Puka Nacua is playing at a different level

Nacua has looked as focused as ever with his new tools learned from Davante Adams being the key to an increased impact from what is already a starring role. Nacua is playing like a man possessed and perhaps the key to unlocking the offense is through using Nacua to pop open Adams.

However, the coaching staff handles Nacua, they know he can flip momentum of a game at any moment. He almost won the contest by himself.

5. It's week three

The Rams needed a loss like this. An early season stunner. If this team is championship material, they will respond next week and if they don't respond, this isn't a championship team. For the past two games, the Rams have been flying a little too close to the sun and this time they got burnt.

It's happens. You learn and you move forward. The Rams have an undefeated Colts team and a 2-1 49ers team to play at home within the next 12 days. Shake this off, learn from it, and if the Rams win their next two games, setting up a potential second classic in Baltimore, this game will be far from the memory.
