The Los Angeles Rams floundered in a crucial divisional matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. After holding a 14-7 lead, the Rams defense surrendered 24 unanswered points to Kyle Shanahan’s offense. How did the defense go from only surrendering 10 points in the first half to allowing the 49ers to move the ball so easily in the 3rd and 4th quarters?
In order to gain a sense of the performance of the roster and its direction, Pro Football Focus (PFF) graded out all the players from the Week 8 contest. Using the PFF grades and the eye test of watching the game, I will provide a weekly evaluation and grade of the defensive positions.
