Resurgent Rams Look to Bust Brady Bunch Monday Night
Two years ago, Rams coach Sean McVay was the toast of pro football. Starting with the hype about his offense being unstoppable.   As a matter of fact, McVay was touted as the man that would reinvent football. Los Angeles became the hottest ticket in pro football wagering. At least until 2019 that is. Last year Los Angeles and McVay ate a heaping helping of humble pie. All of a sudden, the unstoppable offense was running on fumes. Certainly, injuries were an issue but the problems ran far deeper than ailing players. It all came off as a season of whining and alibis. As a result, McVay had a tough offseason. He heard a lot about his Rams missing the playoffs. But for 2020 McVay and Los Angeles are on the comeback trail. Monday Night brings the biggest opportunity yet at Tampa Bay.
