THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that Todd Gurley is "very close" to break the big races.
It has been said that for four weeks.
Gurley was held to a mere 33 yards on 19 carries in Sunday's 17-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. That's 1.74 yards per attempt, the lowest rate among the 16 NFL career starts.

For the season, Gurley has only amassed 216 yards on 82 carries, ranking is 44th among the 45 qualified running backs (Adrian Peterson is the only below Gurley, but Peterson only played in two games). Stretching back even further, Gurley was held below 100 yards in 11 of his last 12 games.
"As long as I keep winning, I could care less," Gurley said after the third victory of his team Sunday. "It does not even matter to me."
