Without looking I'd say zero. But judging on your bonus question there mighta been one.

I picked 1.

Week 15 against Bucs. That felt like the game we won most decisively.
 
Some right answers so far, but no one has guessed the FIRST week of 20+ first downs...:rant:"if applicable!"....if applicable.
 
Some time after Gurley got back I bet. One of those 140+ yard games? First Cardinals game? What week was that?
 
Well, Tron is bound to hit the answer some day, but the answer is.....one.

The VERY LAST GAME against the Whiners, people. We had 21 first downs. That's it! The Rams went the entire season without achieving the very basic offensive milestone. A pretty telling statistic.

Twenty first downs is a very modest offensive milestone. If the Rams don't do it at least 10 games next year I will be disappointed.

I'm not sure you understand the power I wield. My dogs look at me with great admiration. My children have tolerance for my corny jokes. And the rumored hatred my wife holds for me is greatly exaggerated. :rolleyes:

The most by a team (assuming we're excluding starts of drives and first downs achieved by penalty) was 11 by the Saints, no one else was above 9, no doubt the 2015 Rams offense was an epic fail, but if you're expecting 10 then you're going to be disappointed (unless 10 was sarcasm, in which case carry on).
 
First downs are all fine and dandy, but it's our 3rd down conversion rate that was pathetic.
Dead last, and by a rather large margin. Improve on that, and I don't care how many first downs total they get.
Just extend drives.

It actually wasn't sarcasm. Maybe I just need a reality check. Maybe my brain is stuck in GSOT era thinking.

That statistic just seemed to jump out at me. We were being outgained on first downs all year, and yardage, time of possession, and all other Offensive measuring sticks. Look, I get it. Wins are all that count. But these things tell the story.

I wasn't aware that 10 games would be such a high hurdle.
