The Rams are playing the third-highest rate of Cover-3 through two weeks but lead the NFL in Expected Points Added per dropback.

Curious to see how they handle the loss of Ahkello Witherspoon. Safety play has been really strong, which helps. But tougher tests are coming.

That’s interesting. That’s not close.

But I bet the Rams have acquired more pass rushers since 2023, too.
