Nick Foles said the Chicago Bears were at a "crossroads" and their resolve to make this season a success would be tested by the 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. 

Monday's setback saw Chicago's record worsen to 5-2 as they were limited to a season-low in points and had 279 total yards of offense. 

Quarterback Foles finished 28-of-40 for 261 yards and no touchdowns at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, throwing two interceptions and being sacked on four occasions. 

"This is where you test your culture," Foles said. 

"This is where you test the people you work with, whether it's the coaches or players. 

"Like, who are we going to be? Are we going to be in it together or are we going to go against each other? That's sort of the crossroads. 

"We're very fortunate to be 5-2. Everything's in front of us, season's not over. I think that's important, to remind every single person, not only in the locker room but out there. 

"We have to continue to work through this. Conversations are important and obviously implementing, so that's something the coaching staff and players, we have to continue to look at ourselves in the mirror and ultimately be there for one another and go through this thing like people that care about each other. 

"It's the toughest part of sports but I know someday when I'm done playing this game I'll look back and miss these moments in the sense of, wow, that's where those special relationships were made, and the tough times." 

Coach Matt Nagy expressed concerns about Chicago's capabilities running the ball. Their numbers this season are a far cry from what Nagy wants, and they were held to just 49 rushing yards by the Rams. 

Overall, they have rushed for 589 yards in seven games, compared to 839 by their opponents. 

That gives Chicago the lowest average rushing yards per game in the NFL - just 84.1 - paling against the 164.3 average achieved by the Baltimore Ravens, the leaders in that department. 

Nagy said: "It's not where I want to be. You've got to run the ball in this league. You've got to be able to run the ball. We're trying to figure out ways to do it and right now we gotta be better there, it starts with me. 

"I have to be able to rely on our other coaches that we have on the staff that I have a lot of belief in. And I'm talking all across the board, but in particular, offensively. 

"We're 5-2. We built this little cushion and now it's our job to be able to use it, and not lose it."
