Defense

The same familiar faces all played every snap. Cory Littleton, Taylor Rapp, Troy Hill, Eric Weddle and Jalen Ramsey never came off the field. Aaron Donald only missed six snaps, getting his usual share of plays off.

Wade Phillips said Clay Matthews wouldn’t play every snap when he returned, and that he did not. Still, he was out there more than 75% of the time and had an impact with 1.5 sacks and a safety. He actually played more than Dante Fowler Jr., which almost no one saw coming. Samson Ebukam played 32 snaps, and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo was out there for just 10 plays.

Troy Reeder only played nine snaps, continuing what’s been a stretch of very little playing time for him. The Rams love using three safeties at the same time, as Weddle, Rapp and Marqui Christian all played valuable snaps. Nickell Robey-Coleman was on the field for 45 snaps as the Rams utilized nickel and dime packages often.
