Looked like the DLine got handled by the Lion Oline. Did it?
During the regular game, Rams front 7 was getting pressure. It was actually impressive.
The impression of the Lions OL dominating the Rams DL came from overtime. In OT, the Lions just ran the ball down the field. I think they passed the ball once. It was a great OL going against a young, smallish, and tired Ram front 7.
It is hard to fault the Rams for that game. They had 3 subs playing on the OL then 1 of those 3 had to be replaced because he got injured. Nacua, Avila, and Noteboom had to leave the game. Rams made some big mistakes–but they played their hearts out and at one point took the lead against a very good team that was playing without injuries in their home stadium. There’s no such thing as a moral victory but there is a such thing as a noble defeat.
