There were a few times this season when this column was mostly bad for the LA Rams, including several right before the playoffs started. At times like that, it was hard to imagine that the team would have a playoff win with well more good than bad but the Rams defeated the Seattle Seahawks 30-20 on Saturday and allowed only 11 first downs.
We’ve praised the defense so much this season that it can be hard to forget that they allowed an average of 24 first downs per contest over the first three games of the season.
