THE Los Angeles Rams had a team playbook stolen from a player’s car.
Offensive lineman Conor McDermott had his team-issued iPad stolen from his car this week.

The iPad has the Rams‘ playbook loaded on it, and was stolen from McDermott’s parked car.
He was parked in a residential area and local law enforcement are currently investigating the theft.
No arrests have been made in relation to the break-in, according to TMZ.
Fortunately for the Rams, there is no way for the person who stole the iPad to access the team’s playbook. The team can remotely wipe the memory from the device.
There is no indication that any opposing NFL team tried to steal the iPad either.
Even if an opposing team tried to steal the device, they might not have gotten much off of it.
First of all, McDermott has not been actively playing with the Rams as he is currently on injured reserve.
Also, the Rams have not called up many impressive plays, as they currently sit at 1-4 on the season.
They have the second-worst record in the NFC, only better than the struggling Carolina Panthers.
NFL fans had jokes for the Rams and their poor record after the playbook was stolen.
“All the plays in the wind,” one fan said.
“1-4 Not too worried,” another fan said.
“Radiers. Smh,” a third fan said.
“Stolen near LA shocking,” a fourth fan said.
“Cut him,” a fifth fan said.
London calling
The New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings kick off the NFL’s annual run of London fixtures.
New York and Minnesota face off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday October 6 at 2.30pm local time – 9.30am ET for fans back home in America.
It is the first of three straight NFL Sundays that begin with an early game live from London.
The following week, Tottenham also plays host to the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Chicago Bears.
And on October 20, the Jags will head across town to Wembley Stadium to take on the New England Patriots.
McDermott is a seven-year NFL veteran, having experience with multiple teams.
He was drafted in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.
The lineman spent two years in Buffalo before moving on to play with the New York Jets.
After three years with the Jets he spent another two years with the New England Patriots.
McDermott has yet to play a game with the Rams this year after getting injured.
