znModeratorThe Rams should put up over 30 points, and the Redskins shouldn’t score over 20. But, you know, football.
I don’t know, man. What is the Rams historical record against teams named after a military rank?
znModeratorWe have 2 threads on this! I am closing this one and sending people to the other, which is here: Wild Card race

At one point, three different players are blocking him and he's still 5-7 yards in the backfield and almost gets through. pic.twitter.com/bguCsnQgNT

If the double team isn't working on Aaron Donald. You might as well just grab on to him like a Teddy Bear and hope for the best. pic.twitter.com/YRrgcTNyI6

znModeratorThe most impressive thing @AndrewWhitworth saw in the NFL? Sean McVay's first OTAs as a head coach where he only taught character. Great insight on McVay's success.

znModeratorJ.B. Long@JB_LongAfter ranking first among NFL defensive tackles in pressures throughout his career, in 2023 Aaron Donald has fallen all the way to … … first among NFL defensive tackles in pressures (56, per Next Gen stats).znModeratorWashington
Defense: 32nd in yards, 32nd in points, 32nd in YPA passing, 22nd in YPA rushing, 19th in sack %
Offense: 16th in yards, 23rd in points, 25th in YPA passing, 6th in YPA rushing
Which defenses are 1st and 2nd in sack percentage btw? Cleveland and Baltimore, respectively. Against the Rams, Baltimore had 10 pressures and Cleveland had 5. Rams will have all day to throw on Washington, and will be able to run well on top of it.
Is there such a thing as a letdown near the end of the season when a team is in the playoff hunt and every game counts?

Rams setting the tone
McVay makes the Likes section for a second week in a row because the Rams once again found ways to score points against an elite defense. The Rams scored 34 points last week primarily through explosive pass plays. The game plan against the Ravens this week was to run right at them early and often. McVay started the game by calling nine runs in a row.
The “Cook Index” is measured by “how frequently teams pass the ball on first and second downs in the first 28 minutes of regulation, before time remaining and score differential influence run-pass tendencies.” Against the Ravens, the Rams had their lowest Cook rate of the season. By running the ball with efficiency, Los Angeles avoided getting into third-and-long situations and didn’t have to deal with the Ravens’ exotic pressure schemes. Nine of their 16 third downs required getting six or less yards.
The Rams made a philosophical switch in the offseason. They went from being a zone run team to primarily a gap run scheme. They wanted to be more physical and it paid off against the Ravens. McVay leaned on Duo, a gap scheme run that emphasizes vertical double teams at the point of attack. Though the Rams ended up losing the game in overtime, it showcased McVay’s ability to continually reinvent himself and this offense.

znModeratorBlaine Grisak @bgrisakTSTAmong quarterbacks with at least 40 attempts, Matthew Stafford is one of four quarterbacks not to throw an interception in the red zone. He has 14 TDs to 0 INTs. Stafford’s completion percentage in the red zone however is the third worst. -
