Of course, none of that happens without the offensive line keeping Joe Burrow clean. He might not put up huge numbers, but somebody probably will. Or written a much shorter way - this is exactly why they drafted Chase, exactly the type of matchup. And they can throw other guys over the middle - per those FO numbers, Higgins’ 22 catches on 27 targets in the middle of the field gained a first down or scored a touchdown. Uzomah territory, all while the Rams funnel resources at the boundary guys. The Rams ranked 29th in DVOA when defending the middle of the field and that’s not going to change now. We’ve seen Chase get the best of both double-teams and top-flight corners like Marlon Humphrey. If they throw Ramsey on Higgins because of size and try to double Chase, the fifth-overall pick could pop off anyway. Look at the Ja’Marr Chase problem - if the Rams throw Jalen Ramsey on Chase, that leaves Darious Williams (5’9″) on Tee Higgins (6’4″), which is a massive mismatch. Matthew Stafford is a big-game quarterback surrounded by a fantasy football-styled roster of weapons directed by one of the game’s brightest minds, Sean McVay.īut the Bengals present plenty of problems for the Rams no matter what metrics suggest, too. Aaron Donald, Von Miller and others could end up feasting against a struggling Bengals offensive line. Football Outsiders’ DVOA says the Rams finished second, the Bengals finished 11th. Many metrics will tell onlookers this one is a mismatch. Three playoff wins, including one in Tennessee and one in Arrowhead Stadium while erasing an 18-point deficit. Two losses were in overtime by three points apiece to Super Bowl contenders (Green Bay, San Francisco) and another was in Week 18 while starters rested. The short and sweet of it? Six wins over two prior rebuilding years, 10 wins this season while sweeping Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas and Kansas City. They’re playing at their home stadium and happen to do a lot of things well that can hurt the Bengals in matchups. Those Rams won 12 games, emerging from one of the toughest divisions in football, the NFC West, where three teams had 10-plus wins, before seizing the NFC. Said opponent is the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI. One opponent stands between the Cincinnati Bengals and the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy.
