The Green Bay Packers’ pass rush has a chance to get back on track this week against a Los Angeles Rams team struggling in pass protection.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Rams currently own the league’s lowest pass-blocking grade and third-lowest pass-blocking efficiency. For those unmoved by PFF grades, Los Angeles has surrendered 54 total pressures as a team, tied for the sixth most in the NFL.
The Packers need a bounce-back performance following Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, in which Sam Darnold threw for 278 yards and three touchdown passes. Far too long and far too often, Darnold looked way too comfortable operating in the pocket.
