Rams QB Jared Goff is taking way too many hits

SEATTLE -- Two meaningless runs, two vicious blows -- all in a span of four days.

Jared Goff is getting hit way too much.

"Most definitely," Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley said after Thursday's 24-3 loss, the team's ninth in a span of 10 games. "Definitely getting hit too much. Gotta protect him, man. Can’t have our quarterback on the ground. Just can’t."

On Sunday, with his team trailing by 35 points and less than three minutes remaining, the Rams called a quarterback keeper that resulted in a two-yard touchdown run, but Goff was sandwiched by two defenders at the goal line.
