Through the first 59 minutes and 30 seconds of Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Rams defense played lights out. Tom Brady had thrown the ball more than 50 times without throwing a touchdown pass, something he’d never done in his career.
Raheem Morris and the Rams defense held the Buccaneers offense to go three (or four) -and-out on six of their 13 offensive drives. Tampa Bay was averaging just 3.6 yards per play and had gone 0-for-2 in the red zone. Through the first 59:30 of the game, the Buccaneers had nine points on three field goals.
