Tue Nov 12 00:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Rams Look to Capitalize on McDaniel’s Primetime Struggles

The Los Angeles Rams face the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football, hoping to exploit head coach Mike McDaniel’s poor record in primetime games. McDaniel has a dismal 2-9 record in games played after 4 PM Eastern, with his only wins coming against Kenny Pickett and Mac Jones.

The Rams, needing a win to stay in contention in the NFC West, are in a prime position to take advantage of this trend. Despite a historical record of 2-12 against the Dolphins, the Rams believe they can overcome this deficit thanks to McDaniel’s primetime struggles.

While the Dolphins have improved under McDaniel, their performance in primetime games has been drastically different than their regular season record. They’ve suffered heavy losses to the Bills (48-20) and Ravens (56-19), a stark contrast to their regular season record.

The Rams have the advantage of playing at home, with a 5:15 PM local kickoff compared to Miami’s 8:15 PM kickoff. This could contribute to a slight advantage for the Rams, especially considering the Dolphins have struggled in primetime games on the West Coast.

Despite the Dolphins’ struggles, the Rams acknowledge that they must focus on their own performance. A win against Miami could set them up for a favorable run against the Raiders and Patriots, potentially turning their season around.

The Rams are hoping to use McDaniel’s primetime struggles to their advantage, looking to capitalize on the Dolphins’ weaknesses and secure a crucial victory on Monday night.
