The 2016 NFL season begins Monday for the Los Angeles Rams on the road as they take on the San Francisco 49ers in what should be a tough NFC West matchup. The Rams are looking to get off to a great start on the season, and should feel confident as they are listed as early favorites heading into Monday’s game.
Los Angeles will heavily rely on their defensive line to get pressure on quarterback Blaine Gabbert, as the Rams secondary and linebacker core looks a bit shaky coming out of the preseason. One of the reasons why the Rams’ defense suddenly looks shaky is because of the big question mark at the free safety position.
