“Put Ohtani in the Game”: Dodgers’ Stars’ SoFi Appearance Has Rams Fans Subbing in LA’s Superstar Amidst Kicking Conundrum

Shohei Ohtani might be to the Rams what Taylor Swift is to the Kansas City Chiefs. As the Los Angeles Rams went against the Saints, Shohei Ohtani decided to grace the SoFi Stadium with his presence. In the wake of his newly signed contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Ohtani chose to go around the city and see what it had to offer.

The Rams won the game 30-22 and gave their greatest fan the best gift possible. The game remained one-sided till the third quarter as the Rams scored at will. A comprehensive win on the home ground has left the fans in ecstasy. Still, the fan base is unhappy with the LA kickers and lets their frustration out.

LA kickers are in trouble

The Rams’ trouble with kickers came out again as Lucas Havrisik missed a field goal during the first half. Havrisik replaced kicker Maher mid-season to help the Rams resolve their problems. But the replacement has not yielded any better results as Havrisik, too, manages a 75% field goal completion rate with just 16 kicks. Maher was too troubled with the field goal completion rate of 73.9 with 23 attempts. Rightly so, fans took a dig at the Rams’ kicker struggles and invited Ohtani to make a replacement.

In a post shared by the Rams on Instagram, the stadium roared in unison as Ohtani lit up the big screen. The clip mentioned, “SHOHEI OHTANI, BIG RAM GUY.” Ohtani looked a little timid at first before showing off his Rams Jersey. The post added a cheeky caption, “also just a lil shy.” The fan reactions to the post started piling up instantly.

Fans want Ohtani to kick the ball

‘The Rams guy’ acknowledged, “He got mad love for LA.” Further replies on the post revolved around the missed field goal. One fan came straight to the point and wrote, “Can Shohei kick and make field goals?” Others advised a change as the comments read, “Put ohtani as the kicker” and “put camavinga as kicker.”

‘Bigdriposo’ addressed the troubles, “This kicker is below average smh We need a kicker if we are going to make the playoffs.” With this win, the Rams have registered their eighth win and have kept their playoff hope alive. The competition for second place in the NFC West has again caught fire!
