Commitment to feeding Gurley continues
After giving Gurley the ball a puzzling 12 times in a 17-12 loss to Pittsburgh a few weeks back, the Rams made a commitment to putting the ball in his hands as much as possible. That streak continued tonight.
Gurley ran the ball 23 times for 79 yards and a touchdown, also catching all four of his targets for 34 yards. It was the third time in the last four games where Gurley touched the ball at least 20 times. He’s scored a touchdown in all three of those games.
Gurley has looked like his former self the past few weeks and made a few huge plays for the Rams this week. The Rams are 5-0 this season when Gurley has 16 or more carries and 7-1 when he has 14 or more. The Rams are better when Gurley touches the football more. What a shocking revelation.
