Rams' 1-2 start not a reason for alarm, analysts say

Jason Garrett, Devin McCourty and Jac Collinsworth discussed the Rams' slow beginning to the 2026 season. They explained why they remain optimistic about Sean McVay's team over the longer term despite the 1-2 record.
The Sept. 28, 2026 segment featured Jason Garrett, Devin McCourty and Jac Collinsworth examining the Rams after their 1-2 beginning. Related Week 3 clips show Denver rallying past Los Angeles, including a late Rams touchdown and a Broncos pick-six.
The analysts' stated position is that the early record does not alter their longer-term view of Sean McVay's team. The discussion therefore frames the start as a slow opening rather than a reason for major concern.
For Rams fans, players and coaches, the 1-2 start may increase scrutiny, while the analysts' calm assessment could help temper panic and keep focus on long-term development. Media framing may influence fan confidence in Sean McVay's leadership. If results improve, the early struggles could be seen as a minor stretch; if they continue, pressure on the staff and roster may grow.
