silver lining and...more bad news?

Football Outsiders and Pro Football Reference both have BUF, SF and DAL all as top-6 defenses in the league. I do think that, combined with the OL collapse, offers a pretty good perspective.

That said, after CAR the Rams face SF again and then Tampa (currently FO's 3rd highest rated defense and PFR's 4th highest...).

After those games the only team the Rams play with a defense anywhere in the top 12 overall is Denver.
