Examining biggest Rams tendencies before MNF’s game vs. Bills

The Los Angeles Rams enter their Monday Night Football showdown against the Buffalo Bills with a mix of offensive vulnerabilities and defensive firepower. Quarterback Matthew Stafford’s struggles under pressure are a key concern, as his completion percentage drops to 37.0%—the sixth-lowest in the NFL—while his accuracy plummets by 34 percentage points when facing blitzes compared to clean-pocket throws.

The Rams’ reliance on 13 personnel (three tight ends) has been a defining trait this season, leading the league at 30.8% usage before an injury to Terrance Ferguson forced a shift away from the formation. Now, with Ferguson sidelined, the Rams have drastically reduced its use, deploying it just once in their last game.

On the defensive side, Trent McDuffie has been a standout, allowing only five receptions for 74 yards on 18 targets while recording an interception and seven pass breakups. The Rams’ safety duo of Quentin Lake and Kamren Curl adds further depth, with Lake also contributing an interception and multiple pass breakups.

Meanwhile, wide receiver Kyren Williams has emerged as a reliable target, totaling 21 catches this season and becoming a critical screen option for Stafford’s offense.
