As of late, they’ve seemed to be more willing to ride with runningback Todd

At 56.67% Nolan Cromwell Jersey Salute to Service , the Rams are 14th in the league when it comes to scoring in the red zone. That’s up by a little over 3% since last season. Gurley in those situations, as his 14 touchdowns indicate. Speaking of Gurley, it was nice to see him get some breathers as Malcolm Brown got to grind out a few possessions. In general, with the Rams’ bye week still a month away, it was great to see a handful of starters getting some rest in the fourth quarter. All in all, it was luxurious day for the team, back in the California sunshine with plenty of Rams fans scattered around the lower bowl at Levi Stadium. The tight ends may never become a major part of the passing game. Entering the season it seemed conceivable that Sean McVay may go back to using his tight ends more often as a wrinkle to stay a step ahead of tape crunching defensive coordinators around the league. However, with Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and Brandin Cooks only improving, it seems like the Big 3 will be on the field the overwhelming majority of the time. That makes it more difficult to draw any real conclusions about the Gerald Everett selection in the 2nd Round of the 2017 draft. Is the lack of production Everett’s fault Jacob McQuaide Jersey , or is he simply buried in a blizzard of talent? It is worth noting that San Francisco 49ers’ prolific tight end George Kittle was drafted a full 102 picks behind Everett that year. What would Kittle do in this Rams offense? And would Everett be capable of being more of a featured offensive weapon elsewhere? The same questions can be asked of the Rams other tight end Tyler Higbee. But really, who cares as long as the Rams offense keeps the scoreboard spinning?Worth noting, is that both Everett and Higbee have been graded decently by Pro Football Focus this season.

The offense certainly made an appearance, though it wasn’t quite the shock-and-awe type of assault that they have launched so often this season. Their final stats may have been somewhat minimized from continuously working short fields following the numerous turnovers created by their defense. The defense, who has often been treated as an afterthought behind Goff & Co. came to play on Sunday. No, Jimmy Garoppolo wasn’t out there, but the Niners are still 2nd in the league in rushing behind a strong line, and have capable weapons in Pierre Garcon, George Kittle, and Marquise Goodwin. The game turned out to be the best display of what the Rams’ pass rush is capable of that we have seen thus far in 2018. Samson Ebukam finally got home, as did Cory Littleton; and Aaron Donald’s game exceeded any possible description. Also worth note is that the Rams corners basically blanked the 49ers wide receivers, which has now happened in 4 of the Rams’ 7 games so far. Only the Vikings Authentic Johnny Hekker Jersey , Broncos, and maybe the Chargers enjoyed any success outside. With Marcus Peters getting healthier, and the eventual return of Aqib Talib, that kind of coverage should continue to be a deadly compliment to the pressure up front.Los Angeles Rams are fan favorites in states all over the country Being a loyal fan to an NFL team isn’t always easy — especially when the team you’re rooting for isn’t very good. And there was a short period of time there, oh let’s call it 15 years, where being a (St. Louis) Los Angeles Rams’ fan was downright taxing. But those times are behind us, and the Rams are good again! They finished the 2017 season with double-digit (11) wins, won the NFC West title, and handed out some hardware for stellar individual performances to the league’s best head coach, and offensive and defensive players. They won their first game of the 2018 season with style (shout out, Marcus Peters!), and are a team many consider as a contender to hoist the Lombardi next February.And with the wins come news fans...which is a double-edged sword depending on how you look at it. But fandom is good. And a recent study completed by Custom Ink - the online retail company that makes custom apparel such as T-shirts and sweatshirts - shows that Rams fans are letting their presence be known all over the country. In this study Limited Lamarcus Joyner Jersey Salute to Service , Custom Ink “compared Google search interest data for every NFL team to determine the non-local favorite of each state.”The study reveals that the Rams are fan-favs in four states: Wyoming, Arizona, Alabama, and New Hampshire. I suspect the Rams would’ve also been the favorites in Virginia, the state that I call home, but 3k (who just moved from VA to Texas) lost us a vote and took his 49er fandom to his new home state. Speaking of the 49ers, it breaks my heart to inform you that this study has dubbed them “America’s Team,” having been deemed the favorite non-local team in seven states outside of California. Gross, right? Interestingly enough, the study also determined that an east coast team - the New York Giants - have a strong presence in California. I’ll leave it to the fellow Rams’ fans in Cali to weigh in on whether or not that’s actually the case. Regardless, the Giants fared well in this study, finishing t-2nd with the Pittsburgh Steelers (with six states).The good news is that the New England Patriots won zero states. Even better news is that neither did Rams’ NFCW rivals Seahawks or Cardinals. Those were the only three NFL teams determined to not have the strongest presence in any state outside of their own.Mystery State?I’ve stared at that map for about 4.5 hours and I cannot see a state with a Rams’ logo outside of the four aforementioned (WY Rodger Saffold Jersey , AZ, AL, NH). But the article from The Score (link above), displays a bar chart that indicates the Rams were the out-of-state favorites in FIVE. A mystery indeed. But don’t worry. As TST’s lead investigative reporter, I’ve reached out to The Score for clarification and hope to have an update sometime today. Foul play? Perhaps. One can only hope the truth is uncovered and the 49ers lose a state! UPDATE (7:00PM ET): I did hear back from a Custom Ink representative regarding the fifth state. I was informed it was Washington D.C., which was unfortunately too small to feature on the map. Shout out to you, nation’s capital!
