They held the Rams scoreless for three quarters and without a touchdown for 59 minutes, hanging on to claim a defense-dominated day at the Coliseum.Were in a position right now where every win is pretty big for us, said Greg Olsen, who scored Carolinas only touchdown on a first-quarter reception.We put ourselves in a little bit of a hole, and the only way to really get ourselves out is to just climb out one (win) at a time, he added.

Los Angeles scoreless streak reached 102 minutes, 12 seconds before Greg Zuerleins 25-yard field goal.Kenny Britt then made a 10-yard touchdown catch with 34 seconds to play, but Zuerlein curiously quick-kicked the kickoff far down the field, essentially ending the game.Enough is enough, Rams guard Rodger Saffold said.

The defense is out there playing a great game.HONEYMOON OVERThe Coliseum crowd booed the Rams offense repeatedly and chanted We want Goff! during the first half of another dispiriting offensive performance in the Rams return from their bye week.
