What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems
Los Angeles Rams
What Los Angeles Does Best
Matthew Stafford gives Los Angeles a way to flip field position in one snap. That is the football behind the 90.0 Explosiveness grade.
Lowest-Rated Area
Roster Strength is Los Angeles' lowest grade at 85.0, and it is still a strength. The current ratings do not show an obvious weak spot.
Cincinnati Bengals
What Cincinnati Does Best
The best thing Cincinnati has going for it is Joe Burrow. The 88.1 QB Stability grade gives the offense room to survive mistakes around him.
What Cincinnati Needs to Fix
Cincinnati has enough talent to expect more than a 70.8 Recent Performance grade. The trouble has come in games where the defense cannot get off the field and the offense is forced into catch-up mode.
PFM ANALYSIS
What the PFM Numbers Say
Sean McVay gives Los Angeles the stronger coaching grade and a more established identity from week to week. Myles Garrett gives Los Angeles the defense you would trust more when the game comes down to one stop.
Joe Burrow keeps Cincinnati in this because the better quarterback grade belongs to the Bengals. Even so, Los Angeles has the better setup because its advantages on the sideline and on defense point in the same direction.
