If you had to encapsulate the 2025 Rams over their first three games in a single number, which number would you choose? Would it be a stat, a dollar amount, or some other numerical fact?
Would it be ranking first in overall PFF Grade?
Would it be $10 million, representing every dollar being paid to Tutu Atwell?
Would it be 35.1, the average starting field position for the Rams, which is the best in the league?
Would it be 3 blocked kicks for the field goal unit?
Which stats about the Los Angeles Rams do you think tell the most complete story about how these first three games have gone? You can browse the Rams profootballreference page before you answer if that helps, or you can check out how Les Snead has spent L.A.’s cap money this season at OTC, or just do a search on twitter if you like. Maybe you know the stat by heart already.

The Rams shared some positive stats on Twitter on Tuesday, noting how the Rams rank first in overall PFF grade, second in passing/run blocking/tackling grade, and third in total offense grade:
Do you think those numbers best represent the 2025 Rams so far? Do you see a team that is the best team in the NFL?
What about the second-best run blocking team in the NFL, is that a fair ranking by what you’ve seen? The Rams are 10th in rushing yards per carry. What about second-best tackling? Is the tackling better than you’ve seen in past years?
There are also the stats that the Rams would never share with you, like Emmanuel Forbes’ coverage grade or Beaux Limmer’s blocking grade. There’s Ethan Evans ranking 30th in punting and Josh Karty getting three kicks blocked, albeit not his fault necessarily.
The Rams are 5th in points per drive and 8th in points per drive allowed. They’ve got the best starting field position and the second-best starting field position allowed at 25.2.
Then there’s the biggest number of all: 2 wins, 1 loss.
73 points scored, 61 points allowed, +12 differential.
Puka Nacua leads the NFL with 29 catches and 333 yards.
He also has 35 targets compared to 29 for Davante Adams. Nobody else on teh team has more than 7 and that’s Kyren Williams. The next-most by a wide receiver is 5 for Jordan Whittington. The Rams paid Tutu Atwell $10 million for 3 targets and 4 yards.
Blake Corum is averaging 7.1 yards per carry but has only had 14 totes.
Byron Young has 4 sacks. That’s more than Jared Verse, Kobie Turner, Josaiah Stewart, and Braden Fiske combined.
The Rams could be a top-5 NFL team. Which numbers tell you that they are?
They could also struggle against the Colts, 49ers, and Ravens in their next three games. Which numbers tell you that they might?
