What happened: The Los Angeles Rams sit 2-4 six games into the 2026 season. Coach Sean McVay has faced scrutiny for repeated offensive and game-management mistakes during the skid.

Why it matters: A 2-4 record leaves little margin in the NFC West race entering the Raiders game. Continued losses sharpen questions around roster direction, with prorated Stafford contract money already shaping outside trade discussion.

By the numbers: Rams are 2-4 through six games of the 2026 regular season.

What to watch: Los Angeles hosts the Raiders next, a chance to steady the offense before trade talk intensifies.
