It's a meaningless game for both the visiting Arizona Cardinals and the host Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at the Memorial Coliseum, so when players are listed as doubtful for a season finale where neither team is playoff bound, it means they probably will not be playing. Three Rams players fit that description in Week 17: Kenny Britt, Rob Havenstein and Lamarcus Joyner.
Week 17 features a slew of division rivalry games, but the one on Sunday night between the Lions and Packers will have the entire nation's attention.
Depending on earlier games, the loser may well toil in winter purgatory, watching the very party they were four quarters from joining.
The Rams have too much talent on their roster to be this bad, so it's very important for the organization to hire the right head coach in the offseason to make 2017 a significantly better season for the franchise.

Even by the stellar standards these teams set over the epoch, this was a glittering finish that reminded us why football is the best sport.
The Arizona Cardinals won the NFC West last season and lost in the NFC Championship Game. The team had high hopes for 2016, but things cratered out with a 1-3 start to the season, and the Cardinals never recovered.
For the third time this year, the Los Angeles Rams lost a fourth-quarter lead as an inept offense put undue pressure and strain on the defense. Despite leading the San Francisco 49ers by two touchdowns late on Saturday at the Memorial Coliseum, the Rams defense gave up two long scoring drives and the game-winning two-point conversion to lose for the 10th time in the last 11 games. Los Angeles is now 4-11 this season, including 0-2 since firing coach Jeff Fisher.
The Los Angeles Rams have a chance for a win on Saturday at home against the San Francisco 49ers, losers of 13 straight games this season. However, the Rams secondary could be down two players based on Friday's injury report. Luckily for L.A., the 49ers have the worst passing offense in the NFL this year, but that doesn't mean that the Rams can afford the injuries.
In case you don't feel like watching A Christmas Story all weekend, here's some sports action to get you away from the family for a little while.

The last time the San Francisco 49ers came to Los Angeles to play the Rams, it was 1994. The Niners would go on to win the Super Bowl that season, but the 2016 version of the San Francisco franchise is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Losers of 13 straight games since beating the Rams in Week 1, the 49ers are the worst team in the conference this year. That means L.A. could find itself on the winning side of the scoreboard this Saturday.
The Green Bay Packers, once 4-6 and fading, are now 8-6 and in control of their playoff destiny. So much for doubting Aaron Rodgers.

With the firing of Jeff Fisher on Monday, rumors are swirling about the next head coach of the Los Angeles Rams. Two names are circulating prominently: former NFL coaches Jon Gruden and Jim Harbaugh. Hiring Harbaugh would be a big mistake for the Rams, and a young coach like Kyle Shanahan would be the smartest move for the franchise.
This season has gone south in a hurry for the Los Angeles Rams, losers of eight in their last nine games now after a 3-1 start to the 2016 season. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks recovered from a loss to the Rams in Week 2 to put themselves in position to clinch the NFC West Division this Thursday night with a win over Los Angeles at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
If Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher wasn't under fire already, losing 42-14 at home to the Atlanta Falcons isn't going to help his case. The Rams defense was helpless against the best offense in the NFL on Sunday, allowing the first 42 points of the game to the Falcons.
