ESPN’s Bill Barnwell has his five teams most likely to decline in 2019 up, and his first entry?
Barnwell’s list of reasons why to include the Rams is rather lengthy:
- The Rams’ fortune in closer games ending with a 6-1 record
- An unbelievably strong fumble recovery rate
- A relatively average defense
- Offensive line turnover
- A potential increase in strength of schedule difficulty
Yeah, that’s quite a list.
I’ve got one to add to it in a piece I’ll have up later this week, but all of that’s fair reason to think the Rams might regress a bit in 2019.
