I've been wondering about this.
It almost seems like a deliberate plan for the defense to play to " keep it close" the first half, keep the players fresh. Then they unleash in the second half after the opposing offense has worn themselves down.
Or maybe it's just coincidence.

I tell you what would help this defense a ton.. is to get a lead. The Rams defense clearly has a switch they turn on in the second half and its been consistent across all of their games with the possible exception of the Giants
It may be some of that but I think it's more that in the 2nd half they adjust to what the offense is doing and change up their attack to compensate. Whatever it is, it's taking place at the coordinator level. He re-programs what they are doing based on what they've seen.
