The once-scorching Los Angeles Rams offense has taken a step back, and head coach Sean McVay is stressing urgency as the team tries to fix its issues.

With a 30-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, Los Angeles suffered back-to-back regular-season defeats for the first time under McVay.

"We've got to be able to figure this out and figure it out fast," McVay told reporters postgame, according to NFL.com's Jeremy Bergman. "Because these last couple weeks, we're doing things totally uncharacteristic of what good football teams do, of what we've done through the first handful of games this season. The only thing we know how to do is go back to work, look at ourselves. Everybody's got a hand in this."

Front and center in the Rams' setback is quarterback Jared Goff. Over his last three games, Goff has thrown just one touchdown to seven interceptions while earning an NFL-low 51.3 passer rating.

McVay remains confident in his quarterback but admitted Goff needs to play better.

"He did a good job continuing to compete ... and that's what you love about Jared," McVay said. "But there's some things that we all got to be better. He's got to make better decisions, especially when we end up falling out underneath the center on third-and-1. You know, sometimes the only play is to just eat it and take that sack ... but in trying to make plays, we learn from all of our mistakes, and that's Rams coaches alike, but there's certainly some things we can look at, and we got to be better."
