(In no particular order.)
Ben Skowronek
1.) Raheem Morris and the defense. Jalen Ramsey, Derion Kendrick, Nick Scott, and the front seven’s ability to keep Murray contained. It’s frustrating to see the corners so far off the ball, but they stuck to it, and all the dink, dunks, and short completions amounted to just four field goals and a lot of time off the clock.
2.) Mathew Stafford’s spin out of the pocket and side arm throw for a first down on third and 11.
3.) Blocked punt my Michael Hoecht.
4.) Are the Rams still running 11 Personnel? Ben Skowronek!
5.) How strong is Aaron Donald when he can throw Cardinals offensive linemen Will Hernandez aside like a gnat and get his 100th career sack?
Terrell Lewis
6.) Terrell Lewis played, maybe, the best game of his career. His sack came from Leonard Floyd’s spot…The left side.
7.) Savor this Rams offense and Sean McVay’s schemes. The setup and execution of the Cooper Kupp touchdown run were as pretty as something in the Louvre.
8.) Welcome home, Kendall Blanton!
9.) Pound it! After Rob Havenstein goes down, the Rams pound the ball. Instead of running stretch/outside zone with Cam Akers, they pound between the tackles–and score.
9A.) Rob Havenstein came back in the game before it ended.
Rob Havenstein
10.) At the end Cardinals didn’t try to run another play before the two-minute warning. It was an example of all the little things the Rams have built-in during the McSnead Era.
