Cheering for the 9-3 Los Angeles Rams can be frustrating at times. Sometimes, the most obvious strategies seem completely oblivious to the coaching staff. And so it goes that the offense, despite discovering a life raft early in this one, opted to abandon successful but conservative tactics.

And the Panthers, fresh off a heartbreaking loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football, were not to be taken lightly.
