Defense, particularly the run defense, has been a recurring theme in recent articles and comments about this upcoming game against the Rams. Goff and the Rams' passing attack does not scare anyone, though their receivers are pretty good. I thought I would take a quick look at an available statistic: missed tackles. Bear in mind that the missed tackle statistic does not indicate everything there is to know about a player's run defense prowess. Overrunning a play or missing an assignment does not show up necessarily as a missed tackle. And just like the best defensive shortstop in baseball might not have the best fielding percentage, being able to get to a play even though it makes the defender's angle less than optimal might well be a factor.
