The Rams defense is middle-of-the-pack in most defensive statistics. That includes points scored (15th), passing yards (13th), and total yards (16th). The unit can’t be overlooked, even after Lamar Jackson passed for five touchdowns on them last Monday. Wade Phillips is one of the best in the business at defensive coordinator and L.A. has two of the best at their positions. Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray will have troubles dealing with All-Pros Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey.

The Rams defense has been dominant against the Cardinals under Phillips; the QBs they faced were Drew Stanton(following Carson Palmer’s early injury), Blaine Gabbert, Sam Bradford, and Josh Rosen. Kyler Murray will present Phillips with the challenge of a duel-threat quarterback, which hasn’t gone well for the Rams this year. L.A. has allowed huge outings from Seattle’s Russell Wilson and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson.
