Todd Gurley has been dealt a bad hand this season. No player can divorce himself from the environment in which he plays, and there’s likely no worse offensive environment in the league than whatever is happening in Los Angeles. Case Keenum is below league average even when he’s at his best. The Rams’ best downfield threat is Kenny Britt. Their fastest receiver, Tavon Austin, is really a running back who’s averaging 4.74 yards per target this season. Gurley isn’t the only back who would struggle in these circumstances.
Gurley has 288 rushing yards this season. Bears RB Jordan Howard has 229 rushing yards the last two weeks.
