The Rams made changes at tight end, linebacker and safety, turning two three young starters against the Dolphins

The Los Angeles Rams had a chance on primetime television to win their fourth consecutive game, move to 5-4 on the season and come within a half-game of the Arizona Cardinals at the top of the NFC West.

The Dolphins (2-6) are in danger of falling into the abyss in the AFC playoff chase, as they sit in third place in the AFC East and are just a half-game ahead of the lowly New England Patriots. Miami has dropped three straight – including two in a row with franchise quarterback Tua Tagovailoa – by a combined total of 10 points.
