Rams D/ST Looks To Continue Late-Season Success
The Los Angeles Rams defense/special teams struggled at the start of the season, but they found a great rhythm down the stretch and carried the team into the playoffs. They'll have to contain the explosive Minnesota Vikings offense led by Sam Darnold on Monday Night Football of the Wild Card Round. Before multiple starters rested in Week 18, the Rams held three straight opponents under 10 points to defeat the 49ers, Jets, and Cardinals to secure a playoff spot. In those three games, the Rams forced five turnovers and had eight sacks. The unit was a top-eight DST in each of those three weeks. On the season, they ended up with 38 sacks and 20 takeaways. The Vikings gave up 49 sacks and had 21 turnovers in the regular season, but their big-play ability and the way they put up so many points makes the Rams DST a boom-or-bust flier play in their Wild Card matchup.
