    Joseph Noteboom and Brian Allen in for #Rams too

    With a third sack on Rosen, Donald now holds the franchise record for most sacks in a season with 19.5 (since Sacks became an official stat in 1982).

    The Rams unofficial single season sack leader is Deacon Jones, who had 22 in 1968 and 1964, Jones also had 21 sacks in 1967.

    the franchise record for most sacks in a season (since sacks became an official stat in 1982) held by Robert Quinn with 19.0.

    L.A. Rams (358) passed the 2001 Rams (357) for the third-most first downs in a season in franchise history.

    Gerald Everett on the jet sweep. Not many tight ends with a sweet 12-yard carry around right end on their resume.

    J.B. Long‏@JB_Long
    The @RamsNFL have won 12 games for the first time in 15 years.

    In Week 16, @robertwoods becomes the 4th player in @nfl history with 14 straight games of at least 60 yards receiving in a single season. He does it with a 39yd TD dime from Goff.

    (Not bad for a 5th alternate to the Pro Bowl.)

    The @RamsNFL have reached 30 points for the 20th time in the Sean McVay era (31st game).

    The franchise scored 30 points 20 times in the 11 seasons prior to his arrival.

    Tre Boston head-hunting today. Brandin Cooks has a scary concussion history. His teammates were all over that. Woods and even Goff getting into Boston’s face there.

    Sosa K@QBsMVP
    Why does Brandin Cooks ALWAYS duck his head down when he takes hits? I don’t understand why he does it every time

    Matt Harmon@MattHarmon_BYB
    Rams signed C.J. Anderson on Monday. It’s the third damn team he’s played for this year.

    Around The NFL@AroundTheNFL
    What we learned: C.J. Anderson rushes for 167 yards, 1 TD in Rams’ win over Cardinals

    Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
    C.J. Anderson is the Rams’ first 100-yard rusher not named Todd Gurley since Tre Mason in 2014.

    The sack that Strahan got that broke the record was a gift from Brett Favre. He purposely rolled out to his right and laid down in front of Strahan when the play was a called run to the left. I remember reading about how upset the Packers o-line was because they didn’t want him to set the record against them, and had worked their butts off all game to prevent it, and here Favre purposely let his buddy Strahan have it.

    In the chat I said the McVay Rams are undefeated when Donald gets at least one sack. That’s true but I gave you the wrong numbers on that. This is from before the game:

    The Rams have a 16-0 record, since the start of the 2017 season, when Donald records at least one sack in a game. They’re 5-7 when he doesn’t.

    link: https://www.ocregister.com/2018/12/22/rams-try-to-get-on-track-with-wins-and-aaron-donald-sacks-which-go-hand-in-hand/

    .

    Now, after the Cards game, it’s 17-0.

    This does not count the 2 games he didn’t start in 2017. So he has played 29 games, and is now at 17 games where he gets at least one sack (and the Rams have won all of those).

    …

    Interesting: 105 of CJ Anderson’s 167 rushing yards came after contact, more than Todd Gurley has ever gained in a game and the most by a Rams rusher in the last 10 seasons, per @ESPNStatsInfo.

    Aaron Donald on C.J. Anderson: “That boy came off his couch and did his thing, didn’t he? He’s a good football player.”

    Vincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore
    #Rams RB coach Skip Peete may deserve a game ball after this one. He put a lot of time in with C.J. Anderson this week getting him up to speed.

    Cj Anderson@cjandersonb22
    So mad I gave up that sack man … I’ll get better just more reps.

    Thank you for all the people who believe in me I never quit never gave up on my self or my abilities. Thanks to the Rams and McVay for believing in me. Now let’s get better SF next!!!

    from Rams at Cardinals Postgame Notes

    – The 2018 Rams (5-0) are the only team still undefeated in their division. The last time an NFC team swept their division was the Green Bay Packers in 2011. The last time an NFC West team swept their division was the Arizona Cardinals in 2008 who went on to the Super Bowl.

    – The 2018 Rams are only the seventh team in franchise history to reach 12 wins in a single season, joining the 1973, 1975, 1978, 1999, 2001 and 2003 Rams teams.

    – The Rams (54) surpassed their 2017 total of 51 total touchdowns. The single-season franchise record for touchdowns is 67, set by the 2000 Rams.

    – The Rams (4,508) passed the 2002 Rams (4,480) for the third-most single-season passing yards in franchise history. The Rams trail the 2001 Rams for second-most with 4,903 yards.

    – Goff (4,489) holds the record for second-most passing yards in a single season in franchise history. He trails Kurt Warner who passed for 4,830 yards in 2001.

    – RB C.J. Anderson rushed 20 times for 167 yards, an 8.4-yard average, a long of 46 yards and one touchdown. Marked his second-highest rushing yard total in his career. Anderson rushed 32 times for 168 yards as a Bronco against the Chiefs (11/30/14).

    #Rams averaged 7.6 yards on 1st downs today. They had been dominating that down until last 3 weeks. Got back to it today, They also got back to running more on 1st than passing: 24 runs to 11 passes. First time in 3 games they were back to running more than passing on 1st down

    To put it in perspective, they were under six yards per play on 1st downs against #Lions and under five against #Bears and #Eagles and were 57 passes to 34 runs in those games.

    I felt like today the #Rams imposed their will on the #Cardinals. It wasn’t so much about who they beat – obviously, you have to take that into account – but more how they did it. And how they did it is how you have to do it in the playoffs.

    PFF: Refocused, NFL Week 16: Los Angeles Rams 31, Arizona Cardinals 9

    https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-refocused-nfl-week-16-los-angeles-rams-31-arizona-cardinals-9

    The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 31-9, in Week 16 of the 2018 NFL season.

    RAMS

    C.J. Anderson went off for 167 yards on 20 carries in Todd Gurley‘s absence. It often took more than one defender to bring the big back down, and his fresh legs were easily able to handle the heavy workload. The Rams owned the line of scrimmage and ran for 269 yards on 41 carries.

    Jared Goff had a solid day, as the Rams’ play-action passing was in full effect after establishing a dominant ground attack. Goff finished with a 118.1 quarterback rating after going 19-of-24 for 216 yards. His favorite target was Robert Woods, who had six catches for 89 yards.

    Aaron Donald was his usual dominant self, as he notched three more sacks and a number of run stops. The Arizona line has had struggles throughout the season, and against the best defender in football, today was no exception.

    Ndamukong Suh was also a force, as he scored a cleanup sack to go with two passes batted down at the line of scrimmage. When the Rams get a lead like they did today, the pass-rushing duo of Suh and Donald make it next to impossible for teams to come back.

    CARDINALS

    There aren’t many positives to take away for a Cardinals’ defense. They allowed 461 yards and were unable to get off the field as LA converted 6/9 on third downs.

    Cornerback Brandon Williams struggled in coverage, surrendering a 39-yard touchdown to Robert Woods along with a 26-yard crossing route to Josh Reynolds. The Cardinals will look to address the cornerback spot opposite Patrick Peterson in the offseason, as they haven’t found a successful combination for some time.

    Josh Rosen started out well, as he was able to move the ball early by scrambling. However, his lack of time and lack of open targets downfield eventually caught up with him, and it was clear throughout the third quarter he was trying to gut it out at far less than 100 percent.

    Larry Fitzgerald had a nice outing in what could prove to be his final home game in Arizona should he choose to retire after the season. He was the only receiver able to create separation against the Rams’ defensive backs and threw a nice touchdown pass on a trick play in the first half.

    Keys to the Game

    Los Angeles

    Anderson gave the Rams’ offense a nice boost after they came back to reality the past two weeks. The Rams will play next week for a first-round bye, and it’ll be interesting to see whether they rest Gurley considering Anderson’s performance.

    Arizona

    Donald was far too much to handle for the Arizona interior offensive line.
