Key to beating Saints: GGG

Which, of course, stands for Get Gurley Going.

The Saints' biggest weakness is their run defense. They are allowing 4.7 ypc, which ranks 30th in the NFL, so they can be run on.

The benefits of a healthy dose of Todd Gurley (and maybe a little Dunbar and Austin as well) are fairly obvious. Keep Brees and Co. off the field. Make Goff's job easier. Wear out the Saints' defense.

And, if you're not convinced, here's a stat...

Todd Gurley has had 20+ carries 4 times this year.
In those games, Gurley has had 100+ yards 4 times.
In those games, the Rams are 4-0.

GGG.
