How this team shut down the NFL’s best passing offense

Описание: Welcome back to How It Happened.

The Los Angeles Rams defense shut down the best passing offense in the NFL by making Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold uncomfortable in the pocket and speeding up his process.

Led by a front-four loaded with violent pocket pushers, the Rams forced 4 interceptions en-route to a 21-19 victory.

Derrik Klassen breaks down the film to show how that all happened - and why the Rams defense has quietly been elite all season long.
