znModeratorLos Angeles Rams PR@TheLARamsPR
The Rams offensive line has not allowed more than one sack in nine consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFL and three more games than the next closest team (6-game streak).znModeratorSo, what is the Rams major flaw this year? What can derail them?
I saw Mina saying they have issues with Big Wide Recievers like AJ Brown.
Is the secondary subpar? Below average without Lake?
w
vI would not say it’s subpar or below avg. without Lake, but it’s also not a strength.
Obviously though Detroit and Seattle will be the big tests.
znModeratorfrom PFF, NFL offensive line rankings ahead of Week 15: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-rankings-week-15-2025?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhtwitter&utm_content=null
Ranked #2. Los Angeles Rams
Projected Week 15 starters:LT Alaric Jackson
LG Steve Avila
C Coleman Shelton
RG Kevin Dotson
RT Warren McClendon Jr.The Rams’ offensive line turned in an excellent Week 14 outing in a win over the Arizona Cardinals. On 31 passing plays, the unit allowed just two pressures, with no sacks and two quarterback hits. The group’s 96.8 PFF pass-blocking efficiency rating ranked first in the league in Week 14.
Left tackle Alaric Jackson was dominant in the running game, with the Iowa product earning a league-high 94.5 PFF run-blocking grade against the Cardinals.
Best player: Kevin Dotson
Dotson’s 84.8 PFF overall grade this season ranks fourth among all guards.December 10, 2025 at 10:55 am in reply to: interviews (starting week 15)…Adams, J.Slater, Snead #160076znModeratorznModeratorLions

Rams have been penalized 42 fewer times than their opponents this season. Next best team is at 19 (Seahawks and Browns). LA’s 314 fewer yards in penalties is also best with Bengals 2nd at 242 fewer penalty yards.znModeratorNFL Network@nflnetwork
Philip Rivers is back with the @Colts!Albert Breer@AlbertBreer
Obviously what Philip Rivers is doing is rare.But it’s not unprecedented—in 1998, 44-year-old Steve DeBerg came out of retirement after five years away and signed a one-year deal with the Falcons. He even started a game (a 28-3 loss to the Jets) for Super Bowl-bound Atlanta.
JJ Watt@JJWatt
Philip Rivers ran the same offense as the Colts for his son Gunnar’s HS team this season.He and Shane Steichen spoke weekly about it, discussing plays and even film.
So familiarity with the scheme should be no problem whatsoever.

Eagles hoping to soon get back their All-Pro OT Lane Johnson from his Lisfranc sprain in his right foot, and they need him. This season, the Eagles are 0-3 without Johnson.Since Johnson’s rookie season in 2013, the Eagles are 120-62-1 in the 183 games he has played, a win percentage of .656.
In the 42 games without him, the Eagles now are 15-27, a win percentage of .357.

(Rams 48) vs #2 (Lions 47) in offensive TDs scored. Are we looking at another record setting contest ala Rams 54-Chiefs 51 back in 2018? If it happens Goff would have played in both, winning one and losing one. 😎 😉

Justin Herbert was pressured on 68.3% of his dropbacks per @NextGenStats (6/14 for 112 with an INT) and only saw a blitz on 12.2% of his dropbacks (obv Fangio doesn’t like to blitz if he can get base pressure).To win a game despite that % is…breaking my brain.
Obviously you need a massive game from defense and special teams. But you also need a massively poor game from other offense. Whew man. 68.3%.

Breaking Down the Top-5 Offensive Lines
The Bears revamped their offensive line this past offseason, and it has paid off in a major way as they are currently the best unit in the league with an 88.9 OLi grade. Chicago leads the NFL in average time to throw (3.29 seconds), average time until pressure (4.57 seconds), and average time to sack allowed (4.56 seconds). Chicago has allowed pressure within 2.75 seconds on just 10.3% of dropbacks, which is second-best in the league. Their 4.5% sack rate is sixth-best in the NFL. On the ground, the Bears average 1.37 yards before contact (second-best) and 4.7 yards per rush (seventh-best).
Next up is the Rams, who are leading the league in average yards before contact (1.49) on designed rushes and averaging 4.8 yards per rush (fifth-best). In addition to their impressive run blocking, Los Angeles has a 4.1% sack rate (second-best) and a 31.4% pressure rate (fourth-best). They have allowed just 17 sacks (third-best).
znModeratorSo what’s all this bullshit you posted about the Rams being #1 on defense?
#1 according to what metric?
The stuff I posted before that had them at #1 was PFF grades.
This discussion in this thread is based on points and yards. If a team is top-10 in both yards and points allowed, by that metric, I counted them as a top defense. All the other 5 teams I listed meet that criteria. The Rams don’t quite because they are 13th in yards allowed. But they’re still a good defense. In fact probably technically top 10, if you balance the points and yards.
This is the post you refer to where PFF grades them #1.
