  08-09-2020 22:55
  
  For the Rams to be Super Bowl contenders again, they must reverse last year’s decline in the offense, which saw the running game hobbled, the line battered and Sean McVay’s magic figured out by opposing coaches.
  Do they have the tools to do it? Probably. This season? That’s the real question.
  It will require fast contributions from their prize rookie running back, improvement from the young guards, and ingenuity from McVay and new offensive coordinator and quarterback whis

  Orange County has shown enough progress against the coronavirus in recent weeks that it shifted Tuesday, Sept. 8, from the most critical purple tier to the less-restrictive red tier in the state’s new pandemic tracking system.
  That means Orange County’s two most crucial coronavirus metrics, a daily average of new cases and the share of tests that come back positive, are low enough to allow a new range of business sectors and other public places to reopen – though in many cases

  Nineteen months ago, the Los Angeles Rams were the hot stock, the closest thing to a sure thing in the unsure world of pro football.
  The Super Bowl that they lost to New England seemed a mere flesh wound. They had Todd Gurley and Aaron Donald, the offensive and defensive players of the year in 2017 and first team All-Pros in 2018, and they had Sean McVay, the Mozart of NFL coaches, and their special teams were the league standard.
