Interesting – they have the Rams offense ranked 21st and the defense ranked 8th. In both cases that’s better than what their stats (yards gained, points scored, etc) says they should be. They must use some nontraditional metric to rank them.
Depends. I have been applying the “last 3 games” rule. It should be 4 games, but the site that does this only does the last 3, so I either go with their numbers or do all the math myself.
According to the “last 3 games” rule, the offense is 19th in yards and 22nd in points. (And quite good in some other areas: http://theramshuddle.com/topic/last-3-games-metric-offense/ ).
Example:

The justification for doing this is that they actually did get better on offense after the 1st 2 games. Therefore, arguably, season-long averages (consisting of 6 games so far) don’t give you the real picture. (Whether this lasts is another story.)
On defense though it’s a different story.
Last 3 games: 21st in yards, 22nd in points. So like you I don’t know where “8th” comes from.
