For the Los Angeles Rams, the effort needed to pull off a road win against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6 was the type of game that could either galvanize the team into something better or erode it into something much less.
While the Ravens defense has not been effective at shutting down passing attacks, the same can't be said about Mother Nature, whose blustery conditions at M&T Bank Stadium squelched both teams' aerial assaults.
But for Los Angeles, a bigger factor was an early injury to elite wide receiver Puka Nacua. He left for the locker room in the first half due to an ankle injury.
