(AP) -- The St. Louis Rams find themselves looking at another year without a postseason appearance.

Winners of three straight games before a 36-22 loss Sunday to Minnesota, the Rams had a chance of making the playoffs if they won their final three games.

First-year coach Jeff Fisher said Monday says his players remain focused on their next game at Tampa Bay. St. Louis (6-7-1) still has a chance at its first winning season since 2003.

The Rams play at Seattle to end the regular season.

Fisher also announced that guard Harvey Dahl suffered a torn left bicep and will have surgery Wednesday.

He will be placed on injured reserve and the Rams are still deciding what to do with his roster spot.
