Numbers to Know: How Rams Are Operating Heading Into Week 15 Matchup With Seahawks
Coming off a crucial 30-23 win over the first-place Cardinals on Monday night, the 9-4 Rams are staging a late charge towards the top of the NFC West and the conference as a whole. How are they getting it done? Before the Seahawks make their way down to SoFi Stadium, let's go over some numbers to know in the photo gallery below.
108.4: That's Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford's passer rating this year. That ranks second in the NFL, only to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. In all, he's completed 315 of 468 passes for 3,898 yards, 33 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
13.8: That's the percentage of snaps linebacker Von Miller has recorded a pressure on since being traded from the Broncos to the Rams. This will be the first time the Seahawks have faced Miller in three years.
16.6: That's how many yards Rams receiver Van Jefferson is averaging per catch, ranking sixth among all qualified pass catchers. The second-year man out of Florida has compiled 41 receptions on 73 targets for 679 yards and six touchdowns, and has 10 explosive plays (gains of 20-plus yards) to his name. If Odell Beckham Jr. (COVID-19) can't suit up, Jefferson will be L.A.'s No. 2 receiver opposite Cooper Kupp on Sunday.
3.9: That's the percentage of snaps the Rams' offensive line has allowed a pressure on in 2021, ranking sixth in the NFL. Stafford has been sacked just 20 times all year long.
55.9: That's the percentage of middle of field closed looks (Cover 1 and 3) Raheem Morris has dialed up in his first year as the Rams' defensive coordinator—a 10.7 percent increase from 2020. On 175 dropbacks against such schemes this year, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has completed 67.5 percent of his passes (102-of-151) for 1,252 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception, and has been sacked 15 times.
The Seahawks and Rams will face off at 1:25 p.m. this Sunday on FOX.
