Monday night saw the Los Angeles Rams rebound from a Week 6 loss to the division-rival San Francisco 49ers . It came against a previously 5-1 Chicago Bears team that had success earlier this season despite struggles on offense.
That was pretty much the name of the game for head coach Matt Nagy and the Bears on Monday night. Chicago could not get anything going on the ground, and Nick Foles continued to struggle under center.
On the other hand, the Rams watched quarterback Jared Goff put up a mistake-free performance while dominating on the defensive side of the ball. Here are the biggest takeaways from this Week 7 “Monday Night Football” matchup that saw the Rams come out on top by the score of 24-10.

The Bears must add some reinforcements on offense ahead of the NFL trade deadline if they want to be taken seriously as a legit playoff contender. Despite boasting a 5-1 record heading into Monday night, most saw this club as a pretender. That’s primarily because the team’s offense just has not been able to get it going.
This continued big time against the Rams in Los Angeles. Foles put up just 230 net passing yards on 44 dropbacks. He also threw two interceptions, including this one in the end zone with Chicago looking to make it a one-score game.
The Bears’ rushing attack didn’t do Foles any real favors, either. Struggling sophomore back David Montgomery went for all of 48 yards on 14 attempts. All said, the Bears put up 14 first downs en route to another brutal showing on offense.
