While the Rams have won their last two games by a combined 35 points, they are also fresh off their two-worst tackling performances of the year according to Pro Football Focus (PFF):
We have to go back to Week 5’s brutal loss to the San Francisco 49ers to find a comparable outing for Los Angeles. They drew a 57.2 tackling grade in this game and missed 12 tackles.
If we zoom out across the entire NFL, the Rams rank 10th in overall tackling grade. Earlier this season, however, they were leading the league. It’s a troubling concern that likely helps explain LA’s recent regression on defense. They haven’t felt as dominant since their Week 12 rout of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
