While NFL data, statistics, and trends can be misleading, there are times when the data doesn't lie. For Los Angeles Rams fans, the time to pay particular attention to those next-gen stats is now.
Entering Week 8, the data showed a pattern: so far this season, the Rams are far better statistically than their record.
Now that Los Angeles has managed to even up its record at 4-4, undeniably important stats have seemingly taken hold to set the team back on its winning ways. By yards gained entering Monday Night Football between the Bears and Seahawks, the Rams had a top-five overall offense, a top-six passing attack, and a top-ten run game.
