  • Rams Need a Win in Seattle to Stay in Division Race

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Dec 24, 2020

    There have been only four NFL teams to record winless seasons during the Super Bowl era starting in 1966. The 2017 Cleveland Browns (0-16) were the last team to accomplish that feat, joining the 2008 Detroit Lions (0-16), the 1982 Baltimore Colts (0-8, shortened season due to strike), and the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-14). The 2020 New York Jets (1-13), 17-point underdogs, averted that club membership by defeating the title-contending Los Angeles Rams, 23-20, last Sunday afternoon at SoFi...

Winners of four of their last five games and in virtual first place in the NFC West, the 9-4 Los Angeles Rams and head coach Sean McVay are preparing to ensure that this Sunday's contest at SoFi Stadium against the winless 0-13 New York Jets won't be a trap game.

  • Herbert Leads Chargers to Victory

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Dec 17, 2020

    It has been a while since Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert engineered a game winning drive in a football game. In fact, the last time was in college with Oregon, when Herbert scored on a thrilling 30-yard fourth quarter touchdown run to give the Oregon Ducks a 28-27 win over the Wisconsin Badgers in the 2020 Rose Bowl, Herbert's last collegiate football game, in a game played on New Year's Day. Herbert had previously come close with the Chargers, but a missed field goal against...

  • Rams Rebound Against Cardinals

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Dec 10, 2020

  • Chargers Embarrassed in Blowout Loss to Patriots

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Dec 10, 2020

    Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Nolan Ryan played his high school baseball at Alvin High School in Alvin, Texas. He is the most famous athlete from Alvin High School, but he is no longer alone. On Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, Gunner Olszewski, a graduate of Alvin High School and a member of the New England Patriots, had a performance to remember. Olszewski, in his second season with the Patriots, returned three punts for 145 yards, including a 70-yard punt return for a touchdown, and...

  • Rams Upset by 49ers at Home

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Dec 3, 2020

    The Los Angeles Rams offense under fifth-year quarterback Jared Goff failed to show up for second time in the last four games, losing to a team it had no business losing to. The 23-20 frustrating loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon was also the first time the Rams suffered a defeat at SoFi Stadium. The Stadium deserved better. The Rams defense and special teams deserved better. And the Rams fans deserved better. Yet, falling out of first place in the NFC West, the Rams still...

  • Chargers Suffer Another Frustrating Loss in Buffalo

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Dec 3, 2020

    The Los Angeles Chargers are in a rut. No matter what they do, they consistently find a way to lose football games that they should or could win. Whether it is a special teams' failures or defensive breakdowns or offensive errors, the Chargers cannot keep from tripping over themselves near the finish line. The Chargers hit another low point in losing 27-17 to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The Chargers are a passing team riding the golden arm of a rookie sensation. They lack a consistent rushing...

  • Chargers Headed to Miami After Another Heartbreaking Loss

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Nov 12, 2020

    The late great UCLA Hall of Fame basketball coach, John Wooden, once said, "Losing is only temporary and not all encompassing. You must simply study it, learn from it, and try hard not to lose the same way again. Then you must have the self-control to forget about it." That quote from Wooden could easily apply to the Los Angeles Chargers, who continue to make losing close games a habit. Against the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday, the Chargers lost another heartbreaker when quarterback Justin...

  • Rams Face Seattle in Key Game After Bye Week

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Nov 12, 2020

    The bye Week was a charm for the Los Angeles Rams. One week ago they were suffering after having lost to a Miami Dolphins team that had no business being in the game, yet managed to beat the Rams, 28-17, while generating only 145 total yards of offense. Los Angeles (5-3) was two games down in the lost column to the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks (6-1) and one game behind the second-place Arizona Cardinals (5-2). Suddenly, as the Rams prepare to host the Seahawks at SoFi Stadium this Sunday...

    Bill Seals, Sports Reporter|Oct 29, 2020

    When the Chargers came to Los Angeles from San Diego in 2016, they adopted the marketing slogan, "Fight for LA." In 2020, that marketing slogan should be changed to, "Come see Justin." In an area full of professional sports activities, Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert is fast becoming one of the most entertaining acts in professional sports in Southern California and he may be just what the Chargers need to win over Los Angeles. Last Sunday at SoFi Stadium against the Jacksonville...
