The Los Angeles Rams are trying to win their fourth game in a row
The Los Angeles Rams (4-4) host the Miami Dolphins (2-6), and despite LA having the better record I have a feeling that Mike McDaniel and his boys come out Monday night’s game victorious. If LA gave up 180 yards and two touchdowns to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, then what is the combination of Tyreek Hill (who is technically listed as questionable and could miss the game) and Jaylen Waddle about to do?
No, Hill has not had his best season, but Miami’s star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed several games, so with Tua back in the lineup it’s fair to think that Hill’s best games still lie ahead this year, and his best game could come against LA on Monday night. The Rams also gave up career games to Marvin Harrison Jr. in Week 2, Jauan Jennings in Week 3, and even tight end Tyler Kraft in Week 4. It seems like every game LA gets cooked by at least one receiving weapon on the opposing team.
Though LA’s defense may be improving, it could struggle keeping up with what should be an explosive Dolphins offense who may be able to perfectly exploit some of LA’s weaknesses.
Now, the Rams can outscore Miami with their own receiving combination of Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, Demarcus Robinson and more, but with Jalen Ramsey playing defense for the Dolphins, it could be a challenging day for Matthew Stafford despite all the talent around him.
The Rams need a win to stay afloat in the tight NFC West. The Dolphins need a win to keep their season alive, and that sense of urgency may just give Miami the edge they need on Monday night.
