4. Efficiency in the red zone the difference
We can talk about penalties that should have been called until the end of time. However, at the end of the day, the Rams went 0-for-3 in the red zone against the NFL’s 29th ranked red zone defense. That’s 12 potential points off of the board. On the other end, the Lions went 3-for-3 in the red zone. If the defense gets a stop on the fourth down, it’s an empty possession that would have been big at the time.
That is something that the Rams can control. For the offense to go 0-for-3 in the red zone against the 29th ranked defense is inexcusable Again, while the Rams should have ran the ball more in the red area, the decision to pass and go to the back-corner fade several times was questionable.
this was the game IMO
