One easy way to evaluate the success or failure of an offense is to look at the percentage of drives ending in score.

For the second straight season, the Los Angeles Rams finished last in the NFL in scoring rate. In fact, the Rams regressed slightly in 2016.

A year after scoring on just 25.7 percent of drives, the Rams finished the 2016 season with a scoring rate of just 22.6 percent—good for a regression of 3.1 percent. Both figures ranked last in the league for the respective season.

Not surprisingly, the Rams have scored the fewest points (504) in the NFL since the start of the 2015 season. The next worst team (Cleveland Browns) have scored 38 more points than the Rams over the last two years.

Also, Los Angeles is one of just two NFL teams to score on fewer than 30 percent of offensive drives in both 2015 and 2016.

Help should be on the way, at least in the coaching ranks. New coach Sean McVay spent three years as the offensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins, and new offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur is coming to Los Angeles after serving as the quarterbacks coach for the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams finished in the top five of scoring rate last season.

The Rams will also expect progression from quarterback Jared Goff, and free agency should bring a playmaker or two to help take some of the pressure off Goff and running back Todd Gurley. Better days should be ahead for the Rams offense.
