Divisional Round Showdown: Which NFL Teams Are Poised to Defy Expectations?
The Rams defend drop-back passers well, holding opponents during the regular season to just a 32.6% success rate on drop backs – third best in the NFL.
Rams fans are brimming with confidence after Monday’s bombardment, but Los Angeles won’t be able to cut loose its pass rush as much Sunday, as dropping back to pass isn’t a huge part of Philadelphia’s offense. The Eagles ran the sixth fewest drop backs of any team during the regular season.
Given that they have the NFL’s leading rusher lining up in the backfield, it’s no surprise that no team runs at a higher rate than the Eagles, who call running plays 55.9% of the time.
