A likely journalistic "reason why" their D passing efficiency stats fell off? DE Grant Wistrom (now on IR list), a great Ram playmaker, was sent to the Seattle Seahawks. With no pass pressure their defensive INTs fell to league lo (see the Rams on defensive INTs relative to the league.)

When the Rams have the ball, look skyward. Averaging more than 36 pass attempts (near league high) the Rams offense plays a risky game. In the NFC only Dallas threw more INTs. They face a Seahawks defense that ranked third in the League at stealing opponent INTs (see 'Hawks on INTs relative to league).

If the teams play to statistical form, the computer says INTs could knock the Rams out of the playoffs. Our electronic hardware favors the 'Hawks by 8.
