THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Offensive coordinator Rob Boras has repeatedly said he wont point fingers at anyone responsible for the Los Angeles Rams profound struggles to move the ball.Boras doesnt have enough fingers for that, anyway.The leagues lowest-scoring offense has turned in three straight terrible performances during Los Angeles (4-8) three-game skid. The Rams are back to last in the NFL in total offense -- the same place they finished last season -- with just 284.0 yards per game heading into Sundays visit from Atlanta (7-5), which has the NFLs highest-scoring offense.Everything has got to improve, Boras said Wednesday. Its easy to point a finger, and none of us are about that. We all need to coach better. We all need to play better, and prepare better.Before Boras began his first full season as the Rams coordinator, he stressed the importance of immediate improvement. After all, he persevered through 24 years in coaching to become an NFL play-caller last December, and he realized the opportunity might never come again.But Boras has been unable to interrupt a decade of ineptitude for the Rams. The franchise that once boasted the Greatest Show on Turf seems certain to finish among the NFLs 10 worst offenses for the jaw-dropping 10th consecutive season, including five straight under coach Jeff Fisher.During their final nine years in St. Louis, the Rams never finished higher than 23rd in the league in offense. They havent averaged more than 330 yards per game -- which would make them only 24th in the current league standings -- since 2006, when Marc Bulger, Torry Holt and Steven Jackson were all selected to the Pro Bowl.A move to Hollywood did nothing to make this team more entertaining, and Fishers staff could be down to its last few chances to fix things. While Boras says he has made innumerable adjustments to nearly every aspect of the Rams schemes, the results arent showing up.I know I keep repeating myself, (but) this is a resilient group, Boras said. The guys have stayed together. I think our defense has done an unbelievable job supporting the offensive guys and trying to keep them going in the right direction. As frustrating as it is, these guys keep coming back to work.Los Angeles managed just 162 yards last weekend against New England, 66 of that on a long pass to Kenny Britt inside the final two minutes of a blowout. The Rams had 247 yards the week before that in New Orleans, and they had 227 yards in their last home game against Miami three weeks ago.Rookie quarterback Jared Goff has been decent in his first three NFL starts, but not game-changing. Todd Gurley has been unable to produce in the running game all season long. Los Angeles has a patchy offensive line and a plague of drops among its unimpressive receiving corps.The Rams are last in the league in third-down percentage, converting just 32 percent of the time and repeatedly failing to extend drives. Thats often because the running game cant even pick up enough yards on the first two snaps to give them third-and-short.The big thing for us is really getting our time of possession up, guard Rodger Saffold said. What does that mean? Converting third downs and keeping their defense on the field. Its a lot easier for Coach Boras to make calls if weve got more third-and-manageable situations.Boras replaced Frank Cignetti as the Rams offensive coordinator and play-caller with four games left last season. St. Louis went 3-1, but still finished last in the NFL in total offense with 297.6 yards per game.The Rams are even worse so far this season, but Boras will keep trying to extend his opportunity.The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results, Boras said. Were always (trying something new). It might not look like it. ... Theyre little things that the players would know that were trying to do different. Its not carrying over to Sunday, but we are trying to change things.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Dylan DeMelo Senators Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games.

Two teams went wire-to-wire in 2016, or more accurately: They each tripped over the wire repeatedly. The Kansas Jayhawks and UCF Knights both went winless in 2015, and are looking to change their fortunes in 2016.?The Jayhawks begin their season against FCS University of Rhode Island on Sept. 3 (7 p.m. ET, WatchESPN). And while a win over the Rams may seem like a given for some programs, the Jayhawks began the 2015 season with a loss to South Dakota State -- another FCS team. Other nonconference opponents for Kansas include Ohio and Memphis before getting into the meat of a Big 12 slate that features, in order, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.UCF begins a new era under coach Scott Frost in 2016, and will start its season against FCS South Carolina State on Sept. 3 (7 p.m. ET, WatchESPN)?before heading to Ann Arbor to face Michigan. The Knights nonconference season ends after hosting Maryland and traveling to FIU to close out the month of September.In case you missed any part of our countdown:3 days: Michigan had three shutouts in 20154 days: Florida States Dalvin Cook ran for a school record 1,691 yards for the preseason No. 4 ranked team5 days:?Ohio State, Bama among five bounce-back champions6 days: Christian McCaffreys six games with 300-plus all-purpose yards in 20157 days: UNCs Ryan Switzer has seven career punt-return touchdowns8 days: Alabamas record eight wins vs. AP Top 25 teams last season9 days: Nick Saban is 9-0 against his former assistant coaches10 days: Templles 10 sacks in win over Penn State last season11 days: Navy won a school-record 11 games last season12 days: Alabama has won 12 straight games, the longest active FBS streak.dddddddddddd13 days: Lucky number 13 for a trio of teams last season.14 days: Boise State has played in 14 straight bowl games.15 days: Kansas has lost 15 straight games, the longest active FBS streak.16 days: Peyton Manning wore No. 16 for Tennessee.17 days: TCU QBs completed 17 of 17 passes in a game in 2012, an FBS record.18 days: Ohio State has won an FBS-best 18 consecutive road games.19 days: There are 19 head coaches at their alma mater this season.20 days: It has been 20 years since Florida won its first national championship.21 days:?Oklahoma led the nation in average scoring margin (21.5) last season.22 days: Ohio State has been in the top 10 of the AP poll for 22 straight weeks.23 days:?Virginia Tech has played in an FBS-best 23 straight bowl games.24 days:?In the first game of the historic rivalry, Navy beat Army 24-0.25 days:?Michigans Desmond Howard won the Heisman 25 years ago.26 days:?Arkansas State led the nation with 26 interceptions in 2015.27 days: Clemsons Greg Huegel led the nation with 27 field goals in 2015.28 days: Adrian Peterson wore No. 28 for Oklahoma.29 days: Alabamas Bryant-Denny Stadium opened in 1929.30 days: Miamis Vinny Testaverde won the Heisman 30 years ago.
