. . . 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
