Alex’s Scheme Report
Rams’ Run Defense
Run defense has been stout this season. Opposing teams are averaging only 3.6 YPC, third best in the NFL. Defense as a whole have turned things around after a rocky portion earlier in the year, allowing 30+ points in back-to-back games, including a 55 point stunner in a loss to Tampa Bay.
