Came across the Rams-Falcons wildcard game replay on NFLN last night. Watched about 1/3 of it. Credit a great game by the Falcons' secondary. Their coverage was very good all night and tackling was excellent. Ability to not let Gurley get loose on screens and swing passes was a big factor. Experience by Ryan and co. also a factor. Tight game late even with the two ST turnovers. Brockers being out the 2nd half definitely impacted the run defense and ability to get off the field.
When the Rams' screen game is full go the offense is nearly unstoppable. I expect defensive coordinators to focus on limiting that quite a bit this year. McVay's adjustments to get the ball more to both the TEs and Cooks will be interesting to watch.
On the screen game, the teams with fast 4/3 OLBs gave the Rams trouble. Vikings, Falcons.
