    BLUE = LA Rams @ Miami Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma

    Maine gets the game.

    Which reinforces the idea that even more than New Yorkers, Mainers are just Floridians in their larval stage.

    Replying to @Rich_Hammond
    A question for RH. You once wrote (in Jan.) that SportRadar ranked Goff 13th among qbs when pressured. I don’t know how to find that stat myself or where JG ranks now. Any clues?

    Rich Hammond@Rich_Hammond
    Hi! Sure, I can look that up again. SportRadar is a paid service that we have access to. Are you wondering about his 2020 ranking?

    Found it! I had used passer rating as my standard last year, so I’ll do the same for 2020.

    Pressured: 59.7, 17th among starting QBs
    Non-pressure: 120.0, 4th among starting QBs

    Last year, it was 54.7 when pressured, 92.6 when not pressured.

    it seems that more than a few don’t realize just how dominating the bears pass defense has been dating back to 2019, or that the bears defense led the league in just about every meaningful pass defense category heading into last night’s game…. in short, i think a lot of folks are shortchanging goff’s night against the bears, the guy delivered, in fact it was the second best qb outing against the bears defense dating back to last season, i.e. in the bears last 23 games, second only to mahomes… moreover the 24 offensive points the rams hung on the bears last night (which could have been more had they not taken their foot off the gas in the 4th quarter), was the 4th most offensive points the bears have allowed since last year.

    When the other team scores cuz of an offensive turnover, where do the stats go? The Rams’ D doesn’t get dinged for that, right?

    It’s separate stats. There’s team points allowed, and then defensive points allowed.

    Like this from here:

    NFL Team Opponent Points per Game: LA Rams 17.7, ranked 2nd
    https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game

    NFL Team Opponent Offensive Points per Game: LA Rams 16.9, ranked 2nd. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-offensive-points-per-game

    Howdy guys. I just want to point out that of all the posters in this thread, I was the only one who defended Darrell Henderson when they drafted him. I was also the one who years ago said “for those who doubt Malcolm Brown, wait till you see him drag half the vaunted Bears defense 12 yards toward the goal line in a Monday Night game in late October in I think probably 2020.” I will look for the link to the post in a sec.

    The Rams have admittedly played some poor to mediocre offenses this season but through 7 games you cannot complain about being:

    – 6th in yards/game
    – 3rd in yards/play
    – 2nd in scoring defense
    – 1st in 2nd half scoring defense
    – 7th in opposing passer rating
    – t-3rd in QB sacks, 6th in sack percentage
    – 2nd in both passing yards/attempt and yards/completion
    – 4th in 3rd down conversions
    – 10th in red zone defense

    Johnny Hekker was historically great against the Bears on Monday night, pinning all five of his punts inside the 10

    Lindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
    “It’s just great that Aaron Donald knows my name,” – punter Johnny Hekker laughs, when asked about the team swarming him in celebration after he pinned another punt down inside the 10. (Donald gave him a chest bump).

    Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
    Two great quotes from postgame so far:
    Jared Goff on celebrating Johnny Hekker’s punts: “I’m not usually getting off the bench for a punt.”
    Johnny Mundt on his big YAC play: “That was supposed to be a stiff-arm…getting used to having the football in my hands.”

    NFL Week 7 PFF ReFocused: Los Angeles Rams 24, Chicago Bears 10

    https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2020-week-7-pff-refocused-los-angeles-rams-24-chicago-bears-10

    Nick Foles threw two interceptions, and the Chicago Bears‘ offense was held to just a field goal en route to their second loss of the season — this time to the Jared Goff-led Los Angeles Rams, 24-10.

    The final score made the game seem closer than it truly was, as the Bears could not find their offensive rhythm despite their defense keeping the team in the game.

    STORY OF THE GAME

    The Rams’ defense, led by star cornerback Jalen Ramsey and defensive tackle Aaron Donald, nearly shut out the Bears, allowing just 2.9 yards per carry on the ground and snatching two interceptions. Although punter Johnny Hekker saw the field more than Los Angeles would have liked — as the Bears’ defense was no slouch itself — he pinned Chicago inside its 20-yard line on all five of his punts and added a much-needed swagger.

    Ramsey was dominant for much of the night, outside of getting sauced by Bears’ rookie receiver Darnell Mooney on a stutter-go and by Javon Wims on a double-move on the last pass attempt of the game — both of which were overthrown by Foles. He corralled his first interception of the season late in the fourth quarter, effectively sealing the Bears’ fate.

    Donald was his usual stellar self, penetrating the opposition’s backfield with ease against both the run and the pass. His 10 total quarterback pressures on initial count would lead all defenders in Week 7.

    The Rams’ offense was relatively quiet, with Goff and the passing game posting just over 200 yards. Josh Reynolds was the leading receiver, hauling in four receptions for 52 yards and a score, but he was open on a few more occasions where Goff was just unable to reach him.

    Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown conducted the backfield, with both averaging over 4.5 yards per carry. Brown took the red-zone touches and kept his legs moving on an insane pile push that set up his goal-line touchdown.

    Foles was sacked four times and pressured on just under 50% of his dropbacks compared to Goff’s 22%. It made Foles look uneasy in the pocket, and he was inaccurate on some key throws. David Montgomery was the Bears’ backfield, receiving just under 80% of the snaps. He had 19 total touches but netted only 69 yards and zero touchdowns.

    On the defensive side, Khalil Mack and Eddie Jackson were all over the field. Mack forced a sack on Goff and played his role in the run game. Jackson had a game-leading eight solo tackles while also returning a fumble for Chicago’s only touchdown of the night.

    ROOKIE WATCH

    There were not many rookie sightings on the field for either side. Rams second-round running back Cam Akers saw just three snaps and recorded no receptions or carries. Third-round safety Terrell Burgess had 12 snaps before leaving the game with a leg injury. The standout of the bunch was third-round edge defender Terrell Lewis, who forced a key fourth-down stop.

    For the Bears, Cole Kmet and Jaylon Johnson all saw more than 20 snaps. As mentioned above, Mooney absolutely cooked Rasmey on a stutter-go backed up to their own goal line, but he was overthrown by a pressured Foles. He caught three balls for 40 yards on the night.

    Kmet had a quiet game but missed a defender for a 38-yard reception down the left sideline, finishing the contest with two catches for 45 yards — the second-most on the team. Johnson was the only rookie defender to receive snaps for the Bears, and he continued his strong play this season. He was targeted three times and allowed only one to be caught for 14 yards, forcing an incompletion on another.

    Sean McVay is full of praise for the urgency of his team after last week’s loss – one caveat – he is “looking forward to cleaning up” their four/two-minute offense.
