The Rams fell in frustrating fashion to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday and their fall amongst various NFL power rankings comes as no surprise.
It was just two places — from 10th to 12 — but a fall is a fall.
NFL Nation and Rams beat writer Lindsey Thiry continue to focus on the team’s impressive defense as their biggest reason for optimism going forward.
The Rams’ D, led by two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald and All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey, is allowing an average of 19 points per game, which ranks third in the league.
