Welp, Rams were scoring 19, Bears were giving up 19 and they scored 18. But as far as TeamRanking is concerned the Rams scored 19 because they count all TDs as 7 points regardless of what happens with the XP.

Rams now 21st still averaging 19 offensive points per game.

Rams are 31st (Carolina is in last place) giving up 27.3 offensive points per game.

Not good...

Look at Jourdan joining the cool kids looking at the offensive points allowed:

The Rams’ defense is No. 32 in splash plays per snap (4.8), No. 30 in third-down conversion percentage (50 percent), No. 31 in EPA per play (-0.20), No. 31 in EPA per drive (-1.23), No. 31 in defensive points allowed per game (27.3), No. 30 in EPA per opposing rush (-0.08) and No. 31 in EPA per opposing pass (-0.35), according to TruMedia.

Welp, it was a very mediocre, if not bad, year for the Rams by this metric but we won the division and the playoffs are ahead of us.

20th with 20.4 offensive points per game.
19th giving up 22.6 offensive points per game.

In the playoffs, defense is about creating turnovers, getting off the field on 3rd down, limiting red-zone opps to FGs. Of course this is in ANY game. But in the playoffs those metrics become even more critical. Over simplified of course. But, have success in those areas more often than not and you have a damn good chance at moving on.

Not expecting our offense to be like they were against Buffalo. If they can come close to that, 28+, this team will keep moving on.
