Rams at Seahawks
In the 2004 season the St. Louis Rams lost
more ground on Takeaways than any other team.
Falling from 1st to 32nd (tie) the decline accounted for 9.7 points in the Rams' -12.0 PPG scoring decline.

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.
