    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Oct 10, 2024

    Bye Week couldn't have come at a better time for the 2024 Los Angeles Rams. Usually, it's preferable to have the break towards the latter part of the season schedule. But this season the team has only one win in five games, the worst start since Sean McVay became head coach in 2017. "This one hurts because there were a lot of opportunities that we had," said McVay following a 24-19 loss in Week 5 to the visiting Green Bay Packers at SoFi Stadium last Sunday.
