In a template case study of perceptions not aligning with reality, it would seem from two and one half NFL games, this LA Rams defense is much better so far in the first half of this one than many had given them credit for. The special teams, while not generating any video footage for a highlight reel, are playing fundamentally sound football. And the LA Rams running attack on offense, while only putting up 26 yards on the ground, has moved the chains when the Rams needed tough yardage.
The Rams were the first team on the scoreboard in this one, putting together a 14 paly 95-yard touchdown drive that took 8:05 off the clock.
