Divisional Round Showdown: Which NFL Teams Are Poised to Defy Expectations?
Los Angeles’ defense utterly overwhelmed Darnold and the Minnesota offense in its emphatic wild-card victory. Keyed in on the drop-back passer, the Rams had no hesitation in aggressively charging their pass rushers into Minnesota’s backfield to harass Darnold.
That game plan won’t work against the Eagles.
The Rams can’t completely sell out on the pass given Philadelphia’s proficiency to run. And they can’t immediately crash the line to swarm Barkley even when it appears he’s taking a handoff, or they might end up being burned by a play-action pass by Hurts.
