Before the Rams played a single snap, the juggernaut was dubbed as the Super Bowl favorite.
But a slow start to the season had the Rams sitting at 2-4. However, the latest statistic may have just explained the squad’s three-game win streak and revealed the Rams are still in the mix to win it all.
LA has outrushed its opponents 452-172 in their last three games (+280), according to ESPN Research. This is their largest rush yards differential over a three game span since their 2018 Super Bowl run.
And so, it can be inferred that when the Rams are successful in the run game, the team is at its best. While the team has MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford and an All-Pro receiver in Puka Nacua, head coach Sean McVay must execute a well-balance attack on offense.
Utilizing backfield pieces like Kyren Williams and Blake Corum will be crucial for the Rams down the stretch. The run game’s success has been especially notable over the last two weeks, including in Sunday’s win over the Commanders.
The Rams and Washington looked evenly-matched in the first half, but LA came out after halftime with a different game plan. Corum gave the Rams their first lead of the game with a two-yard touchdown.
The Michigan product’s breakout performance over the last few weeks has been a key factor in the Rams’ ongoing win streak.
After a slow start to the year, the Rams are heating up at the perfect time with a recipe for success.
