The Los Angeles Rams lost to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII, 3-13. Heartbreak, especially given how it happened, but worth learning from nevertheless.

“The Rams’ defense is their biggest obstacle to the Super Bowl.” That was the shorter headline to a piece from the mothership in early November.
It was also wrong.
The defense played their best stretch of football in the playoffs especially in run defense.
