The Los Angeles Rams have a big problem at SoFi Stadium. No, it's not like FedEx Field where the stadium feels like it will collapse at any minute. No, the issue is that LA's “home” stadium almost never feels like it's cheering for the home team. Rams home games, more often than not, have all been dominated by fans of the away team.

Fans have already started to overreact to this loss by the defending champions. While it wasn't a good outing, there's plenty of reason to believe that the Rams can bounce back after this beatdown. Now only if they could get more of their home fans to watch so they don't need to rely on a “silent count”…
