Next Gen Stats ranked every team based on their tackling grade and the Rams checked in at No. 15 with a score of 79.1 (C+) – a respectable spot, especially considering how poor the tackling was early in the year. In tackling efficiency, the Rams went from 26th in the first 10 weeks to eighth in the final eight weeks, which helped them climb to No. 15 overall.
Through the first 10 weeks of the season, the Rams ranked 26th in the NFL in tackle efficiency, while no healthy starter posted a missed tackle rate below 9.5% and the team had a win-loss record of 4-5. In the last eight weeks of the regular season, they ranked eighth in tackle efficiency while finishing with a 6-2 record, then converted 70 of 74 tackle opportunities in their Wild Card Round win over the Vikings. From Week 11 through the playoffs, seven starters (Christian Rozeboom, Omar Speights, Quentin Lake, Kamren Kinchens, Kamren Curl, Darious Williams, Bobby Brown) recorded a missed tackle rate of 8.8% or lower.
Jared Verse is one player who improved dramatically as the season went on. Missed tackles were a huge problem for him early in the year, missing 11 tackles in the first four games alone – which, in turn, cost him a handful of sacks, too. In the final 15 games, however, he missed just 10 tackles, according to Pro Football Focus.
