It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Rams struggled on special teams throughout the 2023 season. They weren’t just bad on that unit as DVOA had them as one of the worst special teams groups of all-time. The Rams lost games to the Baltimore Ravens because of special teams and it can be argued that they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers due to missed field goals that gave short fields. They also almost lost to the New York Giants late in the season due to the coverage unit on special teams.
