You just can't blame a loss on one play. It makes no sense. Yes he should not have fumbled. But honestly that was a great play by the defender and not too many RB's would have held on to the ball in that situation. The defense gave up over 500 YARDS OF OFFENSE.
Maybe a couple years ago or even in the 90's you could say one play should not decide a game, but unfortunately with the closeness of all NFL games one play costs teams many of games. Each game in many cases we were one play away from winning and won and few we lost by one play. That is just the way it is.
The Bears are considered one of the elite teams, how many games have they won by one play, namely a person by the name of Hester. Cowboys lost to us by one play. ONE PLAY can be blamed when your talking wins and losses, but overall performance is out the door because many teams don't play consistenetly good week after week they have the one play go their way or against them.
In this case the D performance was the reason the Rams stayed in the game, Betts fumble lost us the game.
