How Rams' toxic special teams blocking has impacted multiple losses in 2025

The Los Angeles Rams have only lost two games over the first five weeks of the season, but the way they're losing is more than concerning.

The problem is that blocking for place kicking is failing miserably.

In the past three games, three of specialist Joshua Karty's five kicks have been blocked and have led to both losses. The first loss was to the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 33-26, while the second was to the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 26-23 in overtime.

Blocked kicks are rare in the NFL.
