What happened

The P.Nacua catch-and-run to the ARI 13 with 1:46 left should have been the moment the Rams stole one. Instead, J.Wallace's unnecessary roughness gift-wrapped field position for C.Ryland's walk-off 43-yarder, and a defense that spent the fourth quarter springing leaks finally burst. Two Stafford fumbles, a secondary that couldn't close, and a loss that fans are already filing under most-embarrassed. The Garrett-trade ghost isn't going anywhere this week.
