    <p id=”dQfScE”>The Los Angeles Rams now rank 22nd on DVOA, two weeks after they ranked 32nd and one week after ranking 29th. The Rams are slowly climbing up the charts after back-to-back wins following an early season defeat to the Buffalo Bills.</p>
    <p id=”IJP2G9″>According to FootballOutsiders, the Rams are 18th in offensive efficiency, 16th in defensive efficiency, and 31st in special teams efficiency.</p>
    <p id=”bzJJFi”>The Rams offense is 16th in passing DVOA and 14th in rushing DVOA. The Rams defense ranks 22nd against the pass by DVOA, and fourth against the run. DVOA, defense-adjusted value over average, gives a score based on down, distance, time, and situation, to calculate how efficient each play is.</p>
    <p id=”wqApVy”>Most stats already do show that the Rams are a bit better in run defense than pass defense thus far in the season. L.A. is 30th in rushing yards on offense and 28th in yards per carry, but they rank above average by DVOA. One reason for that could be that the Rams have not run the ball very often, they are only 26th in rush attempts.</p>

    5. Los Angeles Rams (2-1)

    Week 3 ranking: 4

    Team QBR: 51.1
    QBR rank: 13th

    Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has played well, but the offense as a whole needs to improve. Coach Sean McVay said after the Week 3 victory in Arizona that he thinks the offense is “just continuing to learn our identity.” Stafford, who threw five interceptions in the first two games, did not throw one against the Cardinals, and the offense did enough to win the game. Stafford has thrown just four touchdowns through three weeks. He is playing without wide receiver Van Jefferson, who is on injured reserve, and is continuing to lean on Cooper Kupp, whose target share has increased (35%) from the 2021 season (32%). — Sarah Barshop

    Rank 6

    Los Angeles Rams
    2-1

    Previous rank: No. 6

    While the Rams’ offense continues to work out the kinks, Sean McVay’s defense has been tasked with keeping the team on a winning track. They did their job on Sunday in Arizona, holding Kyler Murray and the Cardinals without a touchdown in a 20-12 win. The Cardinals punted on their first four possessions and settled for four field goals as the Rams took control behind touchdowns from Cooper Kupp and Cam Akers. “There are no style points in this game,” McVay said. “But there are ways to play more complete games. That’s what we’re hunting.”

    7. Los Angeles Rams 2-1 (5)

    The Rams bended a little more defensively in Arizona but kept from breaking  thanks to Aaron Donald and the rest of their front seven covering up some secondary issues. Matthew Stafford is getting the key help he needs to work him out of a mini slump, too.

    #7 – Los Angeles Rams (LW #7)

    I was very ready to bury the Rams after their Week One performance against Buffalo, but they’ve bounced back with two solid games, albeit against inferior competition. At a certain point in the early season, most teams look fallible, but you’re trying to choose the teams you trust the most. I trust the Rams more than a lot of the teams in the NFL to figure out a way to keep winning games.
