Rams Extend Losing Streak With 26-10 Chiefs Loss: Live Game Log
In what has undoubtedly been a season to forget for the Los Angeles Rams, they are set to hit the road against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon in "America's Game of the Week."
While the Rams themselves are disappointed with what this season has become, FOX is likely just as annoyed as they only featured Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in their promo for the game this week.
Of course, it doesn't help the Rams that they are dealing with a slew of injuries, especially on the offensive side of the ball. They will continue to be without star receiver Cooper Kupp and with quarterback Matthew Stafford out, Bryce Perkins will be the starter against the Chiefs.
As for the Chiefs, they have not missed a beat this season despite shipping off Tyreek Hill in the offseason with Mahomes having yet another MVP-caliber season. However, the Chiefs will be without receiver Kadarius Toney and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
Stay tuned as we provide live drive-by-drive updates as the Rams hit the road to take on the Chiefs on Sunday afternoon.
