Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay expressed a desire for more balance in the team's pass-heavy offense after their recent loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Despite having Kyren Williams as a leading rusher, the Rams attempted 33 passes compared to only 20 rushes in the game. McVay noted that the high passing rate was partly due to the game situation, but he aims for improved efficiency on early downs and sustained drives. With receiver Davante Adams sidelined, there is speculation that the Rams will increase their rushing attempts going forward.
