• Bonsignore: What we observed from Rams’ loss to Chargers

The starting lineup is a mishmash of first stringers and backups that soon gives way exclusively to second, third and fringe players. And sometimes, as was the case Saturday when the Rams hosted the Chargers at the Coliseum, there’s more defensive name value on the sideline than the actual field.
