The Rams underwent an identity change on offense Sunday against the Jaguars. They plugged in Sony Michel as the starter, used 13 personnel (1 RB, 3 TE, 1 WR) for the first time all season and even put Joe Noteboom on the field as an inline blocker, completely changing up their philosophy compared to their previous three games.
The result was a 37-7 win over Jacksonville, helped by a dominant performance by the defense, too. Raheem Morris’ unit experienced some adjustments, too, with Ernest Jones taking over as the top linebacker and Terrell Lewis having his role completely disappear.
With the Rams pulling away in the fourth quarter, they opted to pull many of their starters and give the backups some run. So when looking at the snap counts, there’s a much bigger mix of players than we’re used to seeing.
