some season-ending Rams stats

January 04, 2021 04:32AM
Just looking at their final team stats. Some notes:

- Rams made the postseason for the 30th time, tying Minnesota for 5th most in league history (behind GB, DAL, NYG and PIT).

- Rams finished with a positive Points Differential (+76) for the 4th consecutive year, the first time they have done that since 1983-86. If they can do it for a 5th time next year it would be the first since 1976-80.

- Rams finished 7-1 when they had an even or positive turnover differential and 3-5 when it was negative.

- Goff set a career high with 67.0% completions and most all his numbers were improved over 2019. But his YPA (7.2) and yards/completion (10.7) were his lowest under McVay.

- Cam Akers 625 yards rushing were 8th most by a Rams rookie RB. The Rams 2,018 rushing yards were 2nd most under McVay and also only the 5th time they have surpassed 2,000 as a team in the last 30 years.

- Rams finished with two 90+ reception WRs in Kupp and Woods but without a 1,000-yard receiver for the first time since 2017. Their yards/reception were both career lows. Josh Reynolds and Gerald Everett, both 2021 UFA, each set career highs in receptions and yards.

- Rams 53 sacks as a team were among their most ever (4 behind the franchise record of 57 in 1985 and 1999).

- Kudos to Matt Gay who came in and steadied the Rams' poor kicking situation. 14/16 FG including 7/8 from 40+.

- Johnny Hekker had a better year for punts downed inside the 20 (41.2%) than 2019 but his gross and net punting average were both the lowest of his 9-year career. Opposing punt returners averaged 12.9 yards/return, by far the most in Hekker's career.
