The Rams didn’t have a ton of money to spend and also lost Lamarcus Joyner in free agency, but the reported lack of effort to keep Saffold is shocking, to say the least. The good news for Saffold is A) he got paid, and B) he’s one win away from playing in his second consecutive Super Bowl.
In their second matchup, the Rams still lost but hung 31 points on the that vaunted San Francisco defense. Goff improved his yardage numbers from 78 to 323 on 46 attempts, about seven yards per attempt.
The Packers find themselves in a similar situation – they received a full-on shellacking from the Niners’ defense during their Week 12 matchup.
