If it's one area that the Los Angeles Rams defense must improve at in 2024, it’s getting to the quarterback. However, it’s not just getting to the quarterback, but turning those pressures into sacks. Last season, the Rams ranked 24th in sacks despite having a 28.8 percent blitz rate which ranked 14th. They also ranked 14th in pass-rush win-rate.
Despite also ranking in the middle on the league in pressure rate, they ranked in the bottom-10 in pressure-to-sack conversion rate. While pressures matter and tell more of the full story of how often a team gets to the quarterbacks, a sack is still more effective and gives more potential to end an offensive drive.
