Tight end usage against Broncos shows Rams need more 12 personnel in 2023

The Los Angeles Rams had their best offensive performance of the season against the Denver Broncos. Much of the success in the passing game had to do with the usage of tight ends Tyler Higbee and Brycen Hopkins.

After spending the last four weeks entirely in 11 personnel and running just one snap in 12 personnel against the New Orleans Saints, McVay switched things up against the Broncos. On Sunday, the Rams ran 48 percent of their offense in 12 personnel with an EPA per play of 0.21.

While the Rams still ran a majority of their offense in 11 personnel, the variation seemed to have a positive effect on the offense, especially the tight ends.
