. . . outside of major injuries.
Offense: Run the football.
Defense: Stop the opposing team from running the football.
Everything else will take care of itself.
I don't think they can stop the run, though they can be a bit better at it than they have been. Rams are actually 32nd in the league in yards per carry allowed.
I know it's the playoffs and all things get magnified in the postseason (especially flaws), but, they haven't stopped the run all year and still went 13-3. So it may not be fatal.
I would say
#1. don't turn the ball over and do get turnovers.
#2. get big defensive plays (including but not limited to the already mentioned turnovers)
#3. get halfway decent pass protection, which includes running the ball
They didn;t turn the ball over, they DID stop the run, and they did run the ball.
I have one word for this.
Kromer.
The man is massively underestimated I think.
