THE LOS ANGELES RAMS

Don’t look now, but these Rams, whose offense can run as hot as anyone’s, have their defense going strong now, too. Los Angeles made life miserable on Sam Darnold and the Vikings offense en route to a 27-9 win.

Matthew Stafford threw a touchdown to Kyren Williams on the opening drive, and the defense took over from there. The Rams sacked Darnold nine times, tying an NFL playoff record.That included an Ahkello Witherspoon strip sack in which Jared Verse scooped up the ball and went 57 yards for a touchdown shortly before halftime.Give tremendous credit to Rams coordinator Chris Shula and his entire defense, an extremely young unit that is nearly $38 million cheaper than the next-cheapest defense in the NFL.

What a remarkable rally from this team, not just this week, when the game got moved to Arizona…
