Gronkowski Questions Rams’ Outlook as Team Stumbles to 2-3 Start
The comments come after clear defensive breakdowns, special-teams miscues, the waiver of kicker Harrison Mevis, injury uncertainty over Myles Garrett.
Overview
- The Los Angeles Rams sit 2-3 through five games after consecutive lopsided losses that have exposed problems in run defense and team cohesion.
- Former tight end Rob Gronkowski said he is “out on” the Rams reaching the Super Bowl and suggested they might not even make the playoffs because players are relying on the roster’s superstars instead of playing tough.
- A 27-7 loss to the 49ers and a 37-34 overtime defeat to the Bills highlighted the issues, with Buffalo piling up 234 rushing yards while the Rams managed 77 on the ground.
- Coach Sean McVay publicly slammed the kicking game after missed kicks against Buffalo and the team subsequently waived kicker Harrison Mevis as a personnel response.
- Edge rusher Myles Garrett remains on injured reserve after knee surgery but has been reported as entering a potential Week 7 return window, and the Rams face the Arizona Cardinals next in a game framed as a chance to halt the slide.
