The matchup between the Los Angeles Rams versus the Denver Broncos

Los Angeles Rams at Denver Broncos: Matchups to watch is a tale of two ends of the spectrum.On one end is the Rams who are 5-0 and sit comfortably at the top of the NFC West rankings. On the other end is the Broncos who are 2-3 Authentic Aaron Donald Jersey , sit third in the AFC West, and are looking to rebound and regroup after a rough game vs the New York Jets.Let’s take a look at some of the matchups to watch:CB Nickell Robey-Coleman vs WR Emmanuel SandersThis is going to be a battle of two heavy weights. When the Broncos get into three WR sets, Sanders typically kicks into the slot where NRC lines up. Sanders is a route running extraordinaire who also has a great set of hands and underrated speed. He’s the top dog the Rams will have to pay extra attention to in the passing game. Luckily for the Rams, NRC has likely been the Rams’ best CB so far making this battle a fun one.WR Robert Woods vs CB Chris Harris JrAlthough the news sounds positive for WR’s Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp, we aren’t sure at this point if they’ll be able to suit up. If they can’t, look for Jared Goff to target Woods a bunch. After both Cooks and Kupp were knocked out in week five, Woods came alive ripping off massive chunk plays for the offense. Woods finished the game with 140+ yards from scrimmage. This week he’ll likely draw Chris Harris Jr, the Broncos’ best cornerback.Rams’ run defense vs RB’s Phillip Lindsay and Royce FreemanThe Broncos have one of the best backfields in the NFL headlined by two rookies in Lindsay and Freeman. Combined Womens Ndamukong Suh Jersey , they nearly have 600 rushing yards and both are averaging over 5 yards per carry. The two runners contrast each other well with Lindsay being an electric and quick one-cut runner with awesome receiving ability (and running) and Freeman being more of a powerful hard to-get-down runner. The Rams’ front-seven is coming off a game where they were just abused versus the run, but I actually expect them to have a bounce back game and limit the Broncos’ rushing attack.OLB Samson Ebukam vs Billy TurnerIs this the week the Rams’ edge rushers finally start to make a larger impact? It could (maybe should?) be. Starting RT Jared Veldheer sounds like he’ll miss a second consecutive game and LT Garrett Bolles is banged up. Ebukam and Matt Longacre will get to go against an experienced backup in Billy Turner who has 29 games of NFL experience. Look for Ebukam to improve his sack total (one) this week.OT’s Andrew Whitworth/Rob Havenstein vs DE’s Von Miller/Bradley ChubbThis matchup will be one of the most interesting from the entire game. The rookie (Chubb) only has 1.5 sacks on the season, though the same cannot be said for Von Miller. Miller currently has four sacks, two of which are forced fumbles. Miller looks better than ever and will likely be a handful for the Rams’ bookend tackles in Whitworth and Havenstein. I do think the Rams have the edge here because the offensive line has been downright brilliant, but the Broncos’ edge duo could get themselves a few wins too.ILB Cory Littleton vs P Colby WadmanCory Littleton has multiple blocked punts this season. He’s established himself as one of the great special teams players in the league today, maybe even ever. As for Wadman, he’s only had eight punts in the league (all of which came the past game). Marquette King was recently released, so look for Littleton to chase Wadman like a cheetah hunts it’s prey. 4th QuarterThis is gonna be fun.Drive moves deep on a good route from Cooks and improved pass blocking http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/michael-brockers-jersey , but stalls out. K Greg Zuerlein hits it to widen the lead.Rams 26, Packers 20Whew. MVS burned Fan Favorite Troy Hill for an easy touchdown. Game on...Rams 26, Packers 27The Rams get a field goal after a dubious holding call on LG Rodger Saffold (not that it itself was dubious, but the refs let both lines go at it all day...and call holding now?!?!?!?!?!)Rams 29, Packers 27AND NOW A FUMBLE ON THE KICK RETURN, AND RAMS RECOVER!!!3rd QuarterThe Rams get the ball first. Statement drive opportunity......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand no. Rams offense stalls. Green Bay driving, but a classic Aaron Donald sack forces a field goal. K Mason Crosby good from 53.Rams 8, Packers 13And out of nowhere...a competent drive! A first down run for a first down. A 3rd and 10 conversion to TE Young Gerald Everett. Another Gurley run to pick up another first. And then Gurley across the line underneath takes it in from 30! And the two-point convo!Rams 16 Authentic Todd Gurley II Jersey , Packers 13And then the Rams we know. Defense tightens up with two pressures on 2nd and 3rd down to force the punt followed by a very good drive punctuated by WR Josh Reynolds’ second touchdown of the day.Rams 23, Packers 13Welp. Aaron Rodgers gonna Aaron Rodgers. The bigger concern at this point might be that CB Marcus Peters gonna Marcus Peters...End Q3. Rams 23, Packers 20Los Angeles Rams 8, Green Bay Packers 10.JUST WHAT WE ALL EXPECTED.Well, this is the NFL. Two good teams. Two stymied offenses.One huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge half of football left to play.For the Rams’ offense, it has been ugly. The offensive line has played their worst half of football this season coupled with some very good coverage downfield by the Packers’ secondary. That left QB Jared Goff with an inability to get the ball out quickly and take some coverage pressure. Throw in a gameplan that was overaggressive compared to what the Rams were facing early on, and you had a total of 62 total yards after four drives, and that included P Johnny Hekker’s 12 passing yards from the fake. A late touchdown and failed two-point conversion though makes this one much closer.On defense Authentic Jared Goff Jersey , things have looked strong overall. If I told you the Packers would only score 10 points in a half, you’d be stupid not to take it. If I added a safety on top, you’d be insane. Perhaps making things interesting on both sides? No turnovers in that half...So here we go. Playoff atmosphere. Playoff caliber.Playoff preview?
