The Los Angeles Rams continue a magical start to the season reeling off another road win and improving their unblemished record to 6-0.Let’s revisit the matchups to watch:CB Nickell Robey-Coleman vs WR Emmanuel SandersLast week’s matchup to watch:Sanders did a great job separating himself from defenders and making tough catches. Now https://www.ramsfanstore.com/Marshall-Faulk-Jersey , he did majority of his damage on the outside versus CB Troy Hill as he had two major catches against Hill that both nearly went for touchdowns (one was overturned). Sanders finished the game with seven receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown, but hardly any of it came against NRC.WR Robert Woods vs CB Chris Harris JrLast week’s matchup to watch:And now the Rams’ equivalent to Emmanuel Sanders, Woods torched Broncos defenders to the tune of seven receptions for 109 yards and another 12-yard rushing attempt. In a game where Brandin Cooks wasn’t really featured and Cooper Kupp went down with what looked to be a terrible injury, Woods once again stepped up as the defacto top guy. His route running ability, smooth breaks, underrated speed Kurt Warner Color Rush Jersey , and tremendous hands make him a QB friendly target. Woods now leads the Rams in both receptions and receiving yards.Rams’ run defense vs RB’s Phillip Lindsay and Royce FreemanLast week’s matchup to watch:Rolls Royce was limited to seven carries for 22 yards (2.4 YPC) and Lindsay was limited to four rushes for 18 yards (4.5 YPC) with another six receptions for 48 yards. The Rams’ run defense came to play this time around after struggling in Seattle. The Broncos essentially had nothing on the ground and routinely had to throw the ball to try and convert 3rd-and-longs. Great job bouncing back by the front-seven.OLB Samson Ebukam vs Billy TurnerLast week’s matchup to watch:This was... sort of right? Ebukam was pretty much the only edge with any impact (hardly) when he forced a strip-sack on Case Keenum. Now, unluckily for Ebukam it didn’t count because Keenum picked the ball up and nearly threw an interception to NRC on the pass. I don’t believe that’s fair to negate the sack, but the Rams’ edge defenders seriously need to find a way to be more productive.OT’s Andrew Whitworth/Rob Havenstein vs DE’s Von Miller/Bradley ChubbLast week’s matchup to watch:Chubb and Miller proved to be a major issue for the Rams’ offensive line this week, but it wasn’t necessarily just the tackles as I specifically remember a sack coming from Austin Blythe when he moved to LG (Rodger Saffold injury). Chubb and Miller combined for 4.5 sacks on the day proving just how much the Rams struggled to get the passing game going. I’ll jot this one up to some injury hiccups (Saffold, Whitworth) and bad weather. Look for these maulers (who did outstanding in the running game) to bounce back next week.ILB Cory Littleton vs P Colby WadmanLast week’s matchup to watch:Littleton had a great game, but it came on defense not special teams. As for Wadman Orlando Pace Color Rush Jersey , well, he punted four times for an average of 42.3 yards per punt. Who cares?Even though the game was closer than anyone hoped/expected, another tough road win for the team is a good defining moment that builds character. Aaron Donald led the NFL in sacks and is the consensus choice for defensive player of the year, but even when Donald didn’t actually bring down the quarterback, he affected opposing passers in other ways.Donald led the league in pressures as well as sacks, and he led a defense that pressured opposing quarterbacks more frequently than any other defense in football.According to Chris Trapasso of the Deacon Jones Color Rush Jersey , using data compiled by Pro Football Focus, the Rams got pressure on 40.1 percent of the dropbacks they faced, the best of any defense in the NFL in the 2018 season.As is often the case, however, when a team succeeds at rushing the passer, it can struggle to stop the run. Draw plays often work well against a team that’s focused on getting to the quarterback Sean Mannion Color Rush Jersey , and in the case of the Rams they allowed opposing runners to gain an average of 5.1 yards per carry. That’s dead last in the NFL.So whether it’s the Bears, the Seahawks or the Cowboys the Rams face in their first playoff game, expect them to get to the quarterback often. But don’t be surprised if any one of those teams is able to run effectively in Los Angeles next weekend.
