The Los Angeles Rams are trending upward. A rocky first season in L.A. gave way to a 1-0 start in 2017. Last year’s worst offensive team exploded for 46 points against the Colts, giving former No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff his first win as a starting quarterback and setting the tone for a promising year.
The local fans, however, haven’t seemed to notice.

I guess Kaepernick is getting what he wanted, the NFL headed for massive cash loses.
And with declining team revenues, player contracts will also decline.
Since 70% of NFL players are black, who be the the biggest losers
thanks to the Kap?
USC TEXASS was a great game... too bad I couldnt watch it all... way too late on East Coast...
I wish the NFL had stayed out of Los Angeles. LA already has two great teams—the Occidental College Tigers and the USC Trojans.
LA is still Raider Country, even when they move to Las Vegas.
ouch that hurt..
I’ve been to both a Raiders game and a USC game in the Coliseum. USC games there wasn’t an empty seat in the place and it holds 90,000+. I’ve seen more people at a HS Football game than would attend Raiders games in LA. The Raiders hosted the AFC Championship in the early 80’s and it was blacked out in LA because it didn’t sell out. People in LA won’t attend NFL games. Never have and likely never will.
It was a great game, and that freshman quarterback for Texas was amazing for his experience level.
Fun game to watch, it was a throwback back. Very physical, good defense.
Texas looked a lot better than they did against Maryland.
yes he was, i dont know what happened the first couple games, they sucked bad, got blown out by Mary Land...Mary land!! was hoping they would win though...
NFL=Unamerican
“Team revenues” are nothing but gravy for NFL teams.
The real money comes from broadcast rights, which are split equally among each team.
They scalped the Stanford Indians last week. Fantastic!
They did in the late 1960's, when George Allen was the coach. He was very popular with the public. In 1968, when Rams owner Dan Reeves announced that he was firing Allen, the public outcry was so great that he relented and kept Allen on for two more years.
And, my Hawkeyes shook off the Mean Green from North Texas...
Let’s have more spoiled overpaid jerks dissing the American
flag.....that’ll put butts in the bleachers???? sarc/on
A lot is being made of the poor attendance for LA’s newest team but do not forget, the reason the Chargers moved to LA was NOT to sell more seats. It was to be in one of America’s largest media markets and reap the financial benefits thereof. The real measure of success would be the number of people tuned into the game.
