Los Angeles had their chances against Pittsburgh at home before wilting in the fourth quarter, failing to build on the momentum of their win the previous week over Arizona. The Rams enter this game 3-4 on the season and stand third in the NFC West, two games behind the 49ers for the division lead. Against Pittsburgh, Los Angeles was even after the opening quarter with the game scoreless. The Rams led 9-3 at the half and 17-10 after three quarters before getting outscored 14-0 in the final stanza to wind up with the loss. Los Angeles held a 354-300 edge in total offense, picked up 19 first downs while allowing 17 and controlled the clock by a 31:46 to 28:14 margin only to fall short. The Rams did commit the game’s lone turnover, which set up a Steelers’ touchdown, while missing two field goals and an extra point, in the loss.
