It’s not news that the Los Angeles Rams 2023 defensive unit is less than a dominating force and matter-of-factly, needs the L.A offense to control the flow of the game for success. While there is nothing wrong with being a complimentary piece, expectations have to be measured when playing upper-level NFL teams.
