The Los Angeles Rams defense has had its ups and downs to start the season. However, after a tough start in the opener against the Buffalo Bills, they bounced back in Week 2, taking on the Atlanta Falcons.

Through two weeks, the Rams defense ranks first when it comes to stopping the run. At -38.9 percent, Football Outsiders has the Rams with the best run defense. The Rams’ -.466 EPA per play against the run and 79.7 run defense grade on Pro Football Focus also rank first.
