The Rams fell by one late because of Pittsburgh’s problems, which the Cowboys know all too well.
The Rams released the 33-year-old kicker. Two days ago, he missed two field goals and an extra point in a 7-point loss to the Steelers.
It felt like a transfer was coming. Coach Sean McVay said after the game, “We’ll watch it and see. He has to be better. That’s seven points that were missed, that were key and critical given the pace of the game and the type of game.
McVay added on Monday: “Brett has been pretty consistent throughout his career. He had long attempts that were hard to make but we missed. Obviously you want to get the extra point, but those are things we can maybe look at.”
Presumably the Rams will try props today.
Maher has hit for several different teams since 2013. in both the NFL and the CFL. Last year, Maher kicked for the Cowboys. He lost to Will Lutz in Denver this year before joining the Rams.
Maher will now be a free agent. He is free to sign with any other team at any time. Rams running game remains productive despite loss to Steelers – Stu Jackson, TheRams.com
The Rams’ ground attack shined despite injuries in the running back.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — In Week 6, the Cardinals were beaten in the second half. All eyes were on the Rams’ running game in Week 7, especially their two biggest rotation contributors, Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers, on injured reserve. .
Thanks to two experienced faces, Darrell Henderson Jr. and Royce Freeman, they were able to continue producing despite Sunday’s 24-17 loss against the Steelers at SoFi Stadium.
“I thought they did a great job,” Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said. – I thought our forwards did a really great job controlling the line of scrimmage, outside our guys competed really well. Their safeties, corners and nickels were in the box and our guys covered them in the run game. I thought all the guys we gave the ball to today did a really great job.
Henderson found the end zone for his first touchdown since Week 10 of last season and completed 18 passes for 61 yards in addition to the score, while Freeman added 12 carries for a team-high 66 yards. As a team, the duo accounted for the majority of Los Angeles’ 135 yards on 31 carries, averaging 4.4 yards per carry.
Freeman was quick to mention Los Angeles’ offensive line and also reported leaving the field a few yards down even after averaging a team-high 5.5 yards per carry. “First, those guys, take care of yourselves,” Freeman said. “When we run behind those guys, they make our lives easier. For me personally, I feel like I could have done better for them and gotten more yards on those runs.
The Rams’ defense allowed the Steelers to take control and score two touchdowns in the final frame to give Pittsburgh the win.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — — Both the Steelers and Rams knew their tight game wasn’t decided by just one questionable quarter after the two-minute warning. That didn’t make Los Angeles any happier about the officials’ decision — and Pittsburgh wasn’t about to apologize for the big break it deserved in its impressive comeback win.
Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris rushed for scores in the fourth quarter and the Steelers bounced back from a quiet offensive day in time for a 24-17 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Kenny Pickett passed for 230 yards and ran for another score for the Steelers (4-2), who were held to just 110 yards through the first three quarters at SoF Stadium. But much-maligned coordinator Matt Canada’s offense finally found holes in the Los Angeles (3-4) defense in the fourth quarter, stringing together three long drives that culminated in two TDs and a chance to run out the clock.
Pickett had the luxury of a fourth-and-1 at the Los Angeles 38 in the final seconds before the two-minute warning. “Understood,” Pickett said. “I did everything to get it, let’s say.”
Coach Sean McVay could not challenge that point because the Rams were out of overtime and the game was out of the window that would have led to a division review.
“It doesn’t matter what I think,” McVay said. “That’s where they did it. I’m not going to sit here and make excuses for things that didn’t work. Those games shouldn’t have gone to it if we did the way we could.”
The Steelers’ defense sparked Pittsburgh’s second-half comeback.
In the second half of Sunday’s game, the Pittsburgh Steelers looked like the team many thought they would be when the regular season began six weeks ago. In all three phases, Mike Tomlin’s team outscored the Rams in the second half for a 24-17 victory.
Trailing, 9-3, at halftime, interception by T.J. Watt deep in Los Angeles started a big second half for the Steelers. Pittsburgh took the lead moments later on a short run by Kenny Pickett, who used his legs and right arm to lead the Steelers to victory. Pittsburgh (4-2) was also helped by Brett Maher’s three missed punts, including a 51-yarder that would have given the home team a 10-point lead with 1:22 left in the third. Pittsburgh responded with touchdowns on the next two drives to force the Rams down the stretch.
Despite the big day, Los Angeles (3-4) lost rookie Puka Nacua, who caught eight passes for 154 yards. However, Nacua’s big play wasn’t enough to cover Cooper Cup’s nearly invisible two-catch line for 29 yards. Kupp threw two passes early on and his only catch in the second half was a
