I don't think the Rams stalling in the second half had entirely to do with the Pats D..... but that D can't be overlooked, either. No doubt the Rams went conservative in the 2nd half but that was a strategic move that made sense.
In Buffalo they screwed up so bad in the first half they had to go balls out for the 2nd and except for a ridiculous PI call on a 4th down the Rams would have come back a looooooong way to win.
Now; can they ALWAYS do that? Obviously not. But no team can.
I think if there's any negative take aways from the win, it is that the STs still are terrible and will need a complete revamping in the off season...... beginning with the STs coach.
