No defense in the league rushed six or more defenders at a lower percentage of the time than Los Angeles. On defense, the Rams gave up just 5.2 yards per play.Only Patrick Mahomes was blitzed at a lower percentage, which makes perfect sense since Stafford averaged 7.6 yards per play against blitz and threw 19 touchdowns against just a single interception when the opponent brought added pressure. Opponents blitzed Matthew Stafford just 20% of the time. The Rams were at the bottom of the league in percentage of targets to the running back position.

Robert Woods is now in Tennessee and Odell Beckham remains unsigned, but the Rams did grab Allen Robinson in free agency. The Rams offense was in 11 Personnel (1 RB/1 TE) on 86% of their snaps, far and away the highest percentage in the league. Just six offenses produced more points per game as well and only two offenses finished drives with points a higher percentage of the time than Los Angeles. The Rams 6.0 yards per offensive play was better than every team in the league except for San Francisco and Tampa Bay.The biggest news around this team of late of course is the massive contract extension that was very recently given to Kyler Murray. They opened last season with a seven-game winning streak but went on to win just one of their final five contests before losing to the Rams in the Wild Card round. They recovered 69% of their fumbles, the highest percentage in the entire league. The Cardinals +12 turnover differential was by far the best in the division and ranked fourth in the NFL last year.

When the Cardinals rushed six or more defenders, they averaged a paltry 2.6 yards allowed. Only three defenses blitzed a higher percentage of the time than Arizona. The Cardinals took the ball away 27 times, which was the seventh most in football in 2021.To make up for the loss of Kirk and Hopkins, the Cardinals used their first round pick to trade for Marquise Brown and also used their first pick on Trey McBride, the first tight end drafted this year. Arizona lost Christian Kirk and Chase Edmonds from this side of the ball in free agency and will have to withstand a six-game suspension to DeAndre Hopkins. Last year the Cardinals led the league in the usage of four or more wide recievers for the third straight season and they averaged 8.3 yards per play with their 10 Personnel (1 RB/0 TE). Just five offenses possessed the football at a higher rate than the Cardinals.

Arizona only turned the ball over 15 times all year.
