The Los Angeles Rams have exceeded expectations on both sides of the ball early in the season, and the offense has been one of the better units in the league. Following an overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4, the Rams are currently eighth in offensive EPA (expected points added) per play, according to rbdsm.com.
The Rams have an EPA per play of 0.067 through the team’s first four games. With Sean McVay and Mike LaFleur constructing the offense, the Rams have a well-balanced attack that could get even better when Cooper Kupp returns from injured reserve.

In the passing game, the Rams have the 10th-best dropback EPA (0.122) with Matthew Stafford operating the offense. And with Kyren Williams leading the way on the ground, the Rams boast the 12th-best rush EPA (-0.031).
Entering the season, there were understandably question marks about how well the Rams and Stafford would perform on the offensive side of the ball. Stafford’s play from under center, along with the emergences of Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell, has helped the Rams post a top-10 offense in EPA per play thus far.
