McVay says Robert Woods will probably be back for the trip to Seattle on Dec 10. But won’t rule him out for Philly yet.

Barron, Higbee did not participate today. Reynolds and Dunbar were back full today. @CVRamsClub

Wade Phillips on Arizona: “We’ve played this group before, but they still have one of the best running backs of all time, one of the top receivers of all time… It’ll be a challenge for us.” @CVRamsClub

Coach Phillips was pleased with the way the Rams played on third down against New Orleans.

Ahead of Sunday’s game in Arizona, Jared Goff has completed 91 of 144 passes for 1,207 yards and 10 TDs on the road so far this year. He’s yet to throw an interception. The QB rating? 112.8 @CVRamsClub

The Rams have outscored opponents by 123 points through 11 games. That’s the NFL’s second-best scoring differential. @CVRamsClub #onaggregate

Jared Goff’s 19 sacks trail only Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees for fewest among those who have started 11 games.

Jared Goff is on pace for the biggest year-to-year increase in yards per attempt since 1961.

Wade Phillips joked about Samson Ebukam’s upcoming first NFL start: “I said, ‘Are you nervous?’ He said, ‘Heck yeah, I’m nervous.’ I said, ‘Well, you better be.’”

McVay for Coach of the Year:

♣ Rams’ increase of 15.9 PPG over 2016 is greatest improvement of SB era
♣ Rams’ 293 point-differential improvement is third-largest since 1970 merger
♣ Goff’s +35.0 improvement in passer rating is fifth-best in NFL history

McVay is the only choice IMO. His turnaround is historic. We see teams do what Zimmer/Vikes have done just about every year.

Todd Gurley this season:

1st in TDs (11)
1st in 100-yard games (8)
2nd in scrimmage yards (1,344)
3rd in rushing yards (865)
