Raheem Morris will be the LA Rams’ third defensive coordinator in the last three years, but his job is to take over a defense that ranked first in both yards and points allowed for the first time in franchise history. They hadn’t been the top-ranked team in either category since leading the NFL in points allowed in 1978.
What’s the highest a Raheem Morris-led defense has ranked? That wouldn’t be a very exhaustive search, because excluding his three years as a head coach, Morris hadn’t been an NFL defensive coordinator until 2020; and five games into that stint, the Atlanta Falcons promoted him to interim head coach.
