Which Underdogs Will Shock the NFL Playoffs and Turn Super Wild Card Weekend Upside Down?
The Rams don’t blitz much – their blitz rate of 25.8% is eighth lowest in the league – but they did blitz a bit more in the first matchup of the season with the Vikings. Back at SoFi Stadium in Week 8, Los Angeles blitzed on 30.0% of pass plays and generated a pressure rate of 50.0%, while sacking Darnold three times in pulling out a 30-20 victory.
Los Angeles is one of three teams to have at least three players register 8.0 or more sacks (the Vikings being another) led by Braden Fiske with 8.5, Kobie Turner with 8.0 and Byron Young with 7.5. The player Darnold and the Minnesota O-line may want to be most concerned about, though, is Jared Verse.
