But …
Explosive plays are still a problem after five weeks. Wilson had eight passing plays of 15-plus yards, and two touchdowns, and six of them (and a touchdown) were 20-plus yards. Catch-and-run plays allowed are still a problem after five weeks. Missed tackles are still a problem after five weeks. Allowing long drives are still (at times) a problem after five weeks, courtesy of especially some of those catch-and-runs, and the defense basically imploded on a 98-yard drive in the second half when backup quarterback Smith came into the game. Consistent pressure drive-over-drive is still a question after five weeks. And now, the Rams face even more questions about their secondary.
• Reeder is leading the Rams in interceptions (2), which should tell you a lot about the current consistency of the secondary (truly no offense meant to Reeder on that one).
