He didn’t belong on the field.

Schaub has not attempted a pass in nearly a full calendar year. Many of his 14 incompletions were wildly inaccurate.
Harbaugh said Flacco suffered a torn ACL and possibly a torn MCL late in Baltimore’s victory.
It’s unclear what the Rams will do moving forward. Foles hadn’t been playing too well, but it’s not like Keenum was going to be much better at the position, right? He has 16 carries, 43 yards, one touchdown run.
-RB Todd Gurley has been held under 100 yards in each of the last three games.
Flacco is expected to have a magnetic resonance imaging exam on Monday and then surgery when the swelling goes down.
The wide receivers were quiet, as usual. He has 24 yards, two catches, no touchdowns. Austin was held to a single five-yard grab.
Behind Keenum, the Rams offense struggled mightily. It’s actually worse. To be sure, injuries on the offensive line haven’t helped, but there are nearly no signs of improvement.
Greg Robinson was the real disappointment. Gurley has all of STL’s rushing years.
But in this case, Keenum’s head injury wasn’t hidden, it was clear as day.
Nonetheless, he stayed in the game and finished the last few plays to set up Tucker’s kick.
Aaron Donald was once again a force up front.
That barely improved the mood for the home fans, though, as they also had to watch Joe Flacco throw an interception and running back Justin Forsett depart with a broken arm during a miserable opening 30 minutes.
Forsett was stopped for a 5-yard loss on a first-and-10 from the St. Louis 41.
A win over the Dolphins, even on the road, is attainable, but with a matchup against now undefeated Carolina next week, Dallas may want to wait before they start printing playoff tickets.
The loss of Flacco and Forsett represents a huge break for Manziel in his first start since being named the Browns’ starter for the final six games of the season. But, Flacco finally snapped out of his funk and led the Ravens on a quick scoring drive, capped off with a 3-yard touchdown pass to receiver Kamar Aiken that cut the Rams’ lead to 13-10.

Also, the number of missed tackles was astronomical.
