The youth movement at quarterback has played a role in the struggles on offense across the league in the first half of the season, with scoring at its lowest mark through nine weeks since 2007.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — If Sean McVay's first child arrives on a Sunday this month, the Los Angeles Rams will have to take the field without him. McVay and his wife, Veronika, are expecting “in the next couple of weeks,” the head coach confirmed Friday. He has led the Rams to five winning seasons, four playoff berths, three NFC West titles, two Super Bowl appearances and the second Super Bowl title in franchise history. The Rams went 5-12 last year, posting the worst record by a defending Super Bowl champion in NFL history. McVay strongly considered stepping away from football after the season, but ultimately declared he was committed to Los Angeles for the long term.
