ATLANTA — They were coming, the Rams, like kids running down a hill, giddy with their speed, going faster in the fourth quarter than they had all night. Jared Goff, who’d been terribly out of sync, was momentarily sharp, Clark Kent in a phone booth, and he moved his young bucks half a football field in less than three minutes.
But one play after just missing a game-tying touchdown pass, Goff, all of 24, was pressured by a relentless New England pass rush, and he lofted a pass that was too high, too quick, and maybe, in the end, too young.
