Ever since Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has entered the NFL, defenses have made a concerted effort to slow down his offense. In 2017 and most of 2018, the Rams dominated the NFL with their wide zone run game and play action off of that. With the use of 6-1 looks and odd fronts, McVay was forced to shift off of that. The next version of the Rams offense in 2021 utilized more empty looks. However, with defenses limiting explosive plays, the Rams were forced to move on from that as well.
Last year was the third iteration of the Rams offense under Sean McVay and it was a reminder of just how great of an offensive mind he has.
