The Rams didn’t lose yards on a single play on Sunday (not including kneel-downs and penalties)
Zero sacks, zero tackles for loss, zero turnovers. The Rams are one of three teams to achieve that this season, and it’s the third time that’s happened under McVay, according to nflverse data. That consistent yardage helped the offense march down the field and score on each of their first five possessions. They faced just two third downs during that span and took a 31-10 lead by the end of it.
The Rams used 13 personnel on 40 of 67 snaps, the most such plays in a game by any offense since at least 2016, according to Next Gen Stats
The Rams leaned back into their heavy 13 personnel (three tight ends, one running back) usage that they’ve employed throughout the season, and extensively so since Week 6 against the Ravens. But this game trumped the rest. Their 59.7% 13 personnel rate was the Rams’ highest of the season and the second-highest for any team. It worked extremely well, and three of the team’s six touchdowns came on those plays.
“They wanted to run small people out there and we were in 13 (personnel) and it was just, ‘Hey, let’s keep running the rock,'” Stafford said postgame. “And we can call all those runs, but if we don’t make them work, then they have the upper hand. So a ton of credit to our guys up front, our tight ends, our backs, receivers blocking.”
The Rams scored three passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns in a game for the first time since Dec. 30, 2001 against the Colts, according to ESPN Research
The Rams set a franchise mark that stood for 24 years in less than 47 game minutes. Corum ran in two, running back Kyren Williams added one, and Stafford threw three. Wide receiver Puka Nacua came down with two touchdowns (his first career game with multiple receiving scores) and tight end Colby Parkinson caught the third.
