How Las Vegas Raiders’ defense had no answer for Los Angeles Rams’ 13 personnel in Week 7 loss

The Los Angeles Rams dominated the Las Vegas Raiders in a 35-21 victory by utilizing 13 personnel on half of their offensive snaps. This strategy allowed the Rams to accumulate 199 rushing yards, a season high, while Matthew Stafford efficiently managed the offense through the air.
