The Los Angeles Rams will travel to the East Coast this weekend to take on the New England Patriots.
The Rams are looking to bounce back after a disappointing Monday Night Football loss to the Miami Dolphins.
The defeat against Miami was a setback for the Rams, especially as the Arizona Cardinals extended their winning streak.
According to the Associated Press, the Rams aim to regain momentum with a victory over a struggling Patriots team.
“OLB Byron Young has recorded a sack in three consecutive games for the first time in his NFL career,” the Associated Press highlighted. “In the game against Miami, Young posted four tackles, two tackles for loss, two quarterback hurries, and one sack on Tua Tagovailoa
. Young, now in his second season, is forming a formidable pass-rushing duo with rookie Jared Verse.” The AP also pointed out the matchup between the Rams’ offensive line and the Patriots’ defensive line as a key battle to watch on Sunday.
The Patriots’ defensive front, fresh off a dominant nine-sack performance against Chicago, will challenge a banged-up Rams offensive line. The Rams have been plagued by injuries across the roster and will once again be without key players.
“Right tackle Rob Havenstein is sidelined with an ankle injury,” the AP reported. “Joe Noteboom, who struggled in his place against Miami, is also dealing with an ankle issue and is doubtful to play.”
Despite these challenges, the Rams remain in a solid position overall and are hopeful about their playoff prospects.
With a makeshift offensive line and a road environment, Sunday’s outcome will be a test of the Rams’ resilience as they aim to stay in the playoff race.
