One of the main reasons why the Los Angeles Rams came up on the losing end against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5 was due to the defense’s inability to stop the run after allowing LeSean McCoy to rush for 150 yards on just 18 carries.
With a key road matchup against the Detroit Lions scheduled for Sunday, the Rams’ defense realizes how important it will be to stop the run to avoid what happened against the Bills. Luckily, Los Angeles may catch a break on defense now that one of Detroit’s key running backs will be watching from the sidelines.
