The three key takeaways from the loss of LA

The Los Angeles Rams suffered their fourth loss of the season when they lost 24-19 to the Green Bay Packers at SoFi Stadium. The Rams have now fallen to 1-4 this season, their worst start in the Sean McVay era.

What made this loss particularly frustrating was the fact that the Rams had legitimate opportunities to win this game. The Rams had a lead at the end of the first half, but committed several turnovers in the second half that made the difference in the game.

Here are the three key takeaways from the Rams' loss:

The Rams' offense got off to a promising start on Sunday, but missed opportunities and turnovers proved to be crucial in the defeat. The Rams first made it into the red zone on their second drive, reaching the Packers' eight-yard line. They had four attempts to get into the end zone but were unable to score even on a fourth attempt.

Even though they didn't score any points on that drive, the Rams still led 13-10 at halftime. Unfortunately for the Rams, they turned the ball over on each of their first two possessions in the second half. They fumbled on their first possession, and then Matthew Stafford threw an interception while throwing into double coverage. The Packers scored their only points of the second half on each of those turnovers.

Not only did the Rams help the Packers score those 14 points, but those turnovers also negated a solid defensive performance.

The Rams defense was at it for most of the afternoon. The Packers scored an early touchdown, but Jayden Reed made an unreal catch in triple coverage. Later, the Rams forced a pick-six when, thanks to pressure from Byron Young, Jordan Love threw the ball away while trying to evade a safety. Jaylen McCollough grabbed the pick and ran it in, giving the Rams defensive points.

The Rams' defense did allow two touchdown drives after turnovers, but those points came primarily from a few big plays from Reed and Tucker Kraft. The Rams' defense kept the Packers from continually driving the ball down the field and probably would have done enough to help the Rams get the win had it not been for the turnovers.

The biggest positive for the Rams offense was the strength of the rushing attack against the Packers. Kyren Williams rushed for his first 100-yard game of the season, carrying the ball 22 times for 102 yards and a touchdown. Rookie running back Blake Corum also saw action early in the game. Surprisingly, Corum was limited to just eight runs in the first four games, all in the blowout loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Against the Packers, he saw five carries for 25 yards.
