That characterization was grossly optimistic https://www.ramsfanstore.com/Ethan-Westbrooks-Jersey , as best.Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Rams field inspectors and NFL game-day operations representatives “immediately” realized that the field would not meet the NFL’s standard for play.That realization came early enough to shift the game to L.A., but late enough to be an embarrassment to the NFL and an inconvenience to fans that had planned to travel to Mexico City for the game. Yes, the NFL did the right thing; based on the quality of the field, the NFL did the only thing it could have done.Moving forward, what can be done (what should be done) is that these assessments need to be made much sooner than the week before the game. Even though the league requires the home team for international contests to keep its home stadium available, shifting an international game back to domestic soil less than a week before kickoff isn’t a good look Torry Holt Jersey , and it gives fans who already view dimly the effort to export the top American sport another reason to grumble about the league’s ongoing obsession with globalizing football. 2nd QuarterBig 3rd down to start things off...and LB Cory Littleton tracks the run well to get the stop and force the field goal.Offense continues to look a mess. Just can’t deal with Packers’ variety on defense.Packers 10, Rams 0The Rams defense has stepped up in a huge way. The offense? Not at all. Continues to struggle to get open for Jared Goff and playcalls are getting mistimed.SAFETY! The Rams crammed the middle after a perfect punt by P Johnny Hekker and coverage.Packers 10, Rams 2WOWRams get the stop and put together a touchdown drive, but the 2-point conversion fails. Going to be a very, very big second half...Packers 10, Rams 81st QuarterRams won the toss and deferred. They’ll start on defense with Aaron Rodgers getting the ball first.After each time stalled out on the first drive, Rodgers hit WR Davante Adams on third down as CB Marcus Peters got tripped up on the double move. Then hits TE Jimmy Graham down to the 1 and they pound it in on 2nd down.Packers 7 Eric Dickerson Color Rush Jersey , Rams 0Offense stalls out. Struggling to get going, though the no calls on the holds on WR Brandin Cooks didn’t help...Packers driving. Big turnaround needed soon to keep this one in check.End Q1. Packers 7, Rams 0GREAT timing between Goff and Cooks to pull this one off:Pre-gameHearing a TON of Packers fans are at the game today.
