LOS ANGELES — To open the NFL season in Detroit, the Rams’ offense looked more like a repair shop than an assembly line.
The Rams came into Week 1 already working some backups into the swing of things. In-game injuries to Puka Nacua, Steve Avila and Joe Noteboom meant the orchestrators of the offense had to adjust in real time. As soon as they found their footing, they had to search for a new rhythm all over again.
“Just trying to make sure that I’m up to date on who’s up and who’s down,” quarterback Matthew Stafford said.
