The Rams’ depth across the roster has allowed them to use a number of different personnel groupings, both on offense and defense this season. The key starters are still rarely coming off the field, but against the Cardinals on Sunday, the Rams mixed things up more than usual – particularly on the offensive side of the ball.
They gave their top two draft picks, Cam Akers and Van Jefferson, their most playing time of the season. Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp and Darrell Henderson all still played significant snaps, but it was an encouraging sign for the rookies that Sean McVay finally felt comfortable with unleashing them.
On defense, it was much of the same, though Ogbonnia Okoronkwo did make his long-awaited return after coming off IR. Derek Rivers also made his debut, playing sparingly against Arizona.
Here’s a look at the complete snap counts from Week 13, with notes on each position group.
