The youth of the Rams’ offensive attack is downright incredible. Consider these:

• The coach and offensive brainiac of the Rams, Sean McVay, is 31. (He turns 32 on Thursday.) The offensive coordinator, Matt LaFleur, is 38.

• Average age of McVay/LaFleur: 35 years, 1 month. Age of Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth: 36 years, 1 month.

• The nine Rams offensive players who touched the ball in their playoff loss to Atlanta are all 25 or younger.

That last one blows me away. But let’s look. The quarterback who handled the ball on every offensive snap, Jared Goff, is 23. The other eight men with their hands on the ball either in the running, receiving or return game:

Player Touches Age
RB Todd Gurley 18 23
KR/PR Pharoh Cooper 10 22
WR Robert Woods 9 25
WR Cooper Kupp 8 24
RB Malcolm Brown 2 24
WR Sammy Watkins 1 24
TE Gerald Everett 1 23
TE Tyler Higbee 1 25

Average age of the nine players who touched the ball for the Rams in the wild-card game: 24 years, 4 months.

if somehow, however unlikely, the rams had the fortune of having mcvay coach them for the next 20 years, he’d still only be 51 years old at the end of his tenure.
