LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams' defense is undeniably the best in the NFL. Rookie coordinator Brandon Staley's group allowed the fewest points, total yards, yards passing, touchdown passes and first downs in the league this season while carrying a mediocre offense to 10 wins and a postseason berth.
The Rams probably shouldn't try to find out whether this dominant defense can win a playoff game all by itself, too.
Los Angeles (10-6) is headed to Seattle on Saturday for the second postseason meeting ever between the NFC West rivals. The Rams' defense is historically good, but it isn't resting on its achievements with a third matchup against Russell Wilson looming.
