LA Rams ILB Kenny Young’s pick-six displays just how well this defense is playing, and trusting, one another
The LA Rams defense may be playing very well, but try to pick out one player to applaud. He will gracefully bow out, pointing to his teammates who contributed equally to the success. The LA Rams team is successful because the pieces are less than the sum of the parts. In football terms, the defense is successful because so many players are willing to contribute in the shadows to spotlight a teammate’s performance.
