The Rams didn’t have one of the best defenses in the NFL last season – at least not statistically. They ranked 15th in points allowed and 17th in yards allowed, struggling at times to slow down their opponents. But their defenders stepped up when it mattered most in the playoffs, allowing just 65 points in their four games during the postseason.
That has the Rams riding some momentum into the 2022 season, despite losing Von Miller, Darious Williams, Sebastian Joseph-Day and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo. In fact, FOX Sports’ Eric D. Williams sees the Rams defense as the best in the NFL.
He ranked them No. 1 overall in his top 10 heading into the 2022 season, ahead of the Bills, Bucs, 49ers and Broncos, who rounded out the top five.
