Stafford's 157-yard dud reflects Rams' ground-heavy approach without Adams; faces soft schedule

Stafford posted a season-low 157 yards on 17 completions against the Chargers, falling flat despite being projected for a strong showing. The source attributes his quiet day to the Rams' smothering defense keeping the game low-scoring and reducing passing volume. With Davante Adams out for the foreseeable future and neither Jordan Whittington nor Konata Mumpfield proven as larger target-volume options, Los Angeles has relied more than ever on its ground game. Stafford has two easy matchups ahead against Washington and Arizona before the Week 11 bye.
