Ravens vs. Rams: 3 Halftime Observations for the Rams

Not much has gone right for the Rams today, as the Ravens have come out firing after laying an egg against Tennessee.

Sam Bradford has spent much of his time on his back. He'll have to inspire his team in the locker room, because something has got to change in the Rams' game plan. Let's take a look at how the Rams can get out of this hole. 

1) Ain't Over Til the Fat Lady Sings

Twice already today teams down by 20+ points have won. The Bills overcame a 21-0 deficit to the Patriots, and the Lions took down the Vikings after facing a 20-0 halftime hole. The Rams are down 27-0 at the half, but this could be Sam Bradford's biggest test to see if he has the arm and the leadership skills to bring the Rams back like another No. 1 overall pick did earlier (Matthew Stafford).

2) Cool It with the Blitzing

I think it's time the Rams stop blitzing Joe Flacco. He's working too well, and he's already made plays with his feet. The Rams need to drop back the linebackers in coverage more often and give Flacco less opportunities and space to make plays. 

3) Cut Down on Penalties

The Rams need to cut down on the costly penalties. They aren't playing well enough to be giving up so many crucial yards to a dangerous offense. Spags needs to tighten up the reins on his players or this game could wind up uglier than it already is.
