As successful as the Los Angeles Rams were during their surprise playoff run in 2017, the one factor that was tough to adjust to was the loss of Greg Zuerlein on special teams. Thanks to better opportunities by the Rams to be in scoring position, the Rams kicker had himself a career year, and was even voted into the Pro Bowl.
Unfortunately, Zuerlein watched his career season come to an end sooner than expected after suffering a back injury in the middle of December, forcing Los Angeles to go with Sam Ficken the rest of the way.
